You're my best friend, so I'm tellin' you
You can tell whoever you want to.
See, somethin' has changed, and maybe someday it'll happen to you.
I got a girl now, but don't make a scene.
She's the captain of the swimming team.
And nobody knows, but believe me you know the girl that I mean.
I'm runnin' with her and she's runnin' with me.
My Katie means more than the moon to me,
Or the sun and the stars, or all the shiny new cars goin' by on the street.
I used to try to be so cool and proud
Now she's the only thing I think about
And all the lines I had drawn, they were all gone when she kissed my mouth.
Right now you're the only one who knows
We're makin' plans to pick up and go
In an old Thunderbird - I gave her my word I'd buy here one'a those.
My old man'll get along just fine.
He can rent out that ol' room of mine.
He won't lose any sleep. He ain't said nothin' to me for such a long time.
We're too smart to live the offered life,
But I sure am gonna miss you, Mike.
I'll leave my bike on your lawn, and you'll know that we're gone, then you can tell who you like.
