There was this kid that used to beat me up
A pudgy kid, his name was Chuck
Once he had some M&Ms
And I asked if we could share
Instead he pushed me off of my Big Wheel
I skinned my knee and he rode off
And then when I was walking home
A bee stung me on my head
I stopped playin' outside that week
Instead, I listened to my Walkman incessantly
And that's the reason I'm a music geek
It never stole a Big Wheel from me
In sixth grade I always dreaded lunch
I could never find a place to sit and munch
There was this kid named Bo
Who once let me sit with him
One day he interrogated me
Found out I had a crush on Tara Weatherby
He told the entire school
When she found out she laughed at me
I stopped tryin' to make friends that week
Instead I listened to my Walkman incessantly
And that's the reason I'm a music geek
It never points and laughs at me
Who needs real friends
When you can obsess over bands?
Who needs human contact
When you can hear what people sing about it?
Now I'm in my mid-twenties
And everybody's got nice stuff but me
I still have social phobias
But I'm workin' to get past them
Maybe if I went out and booked a few more shows
And got a record deal and made some videos
On second thought, I think I'll stay inside
With my girl and sing songs for her
Cause she's in love with me
She loves to download mp3s
And she's in love with a music geek
She likes me for me
