The Number One Lyrics

(Background Singin)



Slug: (Verse 1)



Uh Huh, her name
was Stephanie something

She lived out in Richfield, Right off of
Portland

I'm talkin' bout back in the 9th grade

Still had a
ponytail, Couldn't grow a (hi fay?)

Used to take the 5 way out to the
Suburbs

Waitin at the bus stop there was my love bird

She would get
on, sit down, scoot me over

and smile with a jerry curl, resting on my
shoulder

And we would hit the mall together, maybe hold each others
hands, or share a Doctor Pepper,

And all we ever did was kiss, no sex

But in our defense there was never any stress

Slug: (Verse
2)

On the phone late at night, when I'm supposed to be in bed, momma
doesn't know I'm talkin to Laynette

I had a lot, sweet nothin' to say,
You could say not a whole lot has changed since this day

We was 14, but
she had breast, although, we was both to young for anything sexual

Just
wanted her to know that she was special

She used to write me notes,"Do
you like me, Yes?, No?"

And I don't know if it was practice for later

But both of us would break our back to spend time together

I don't ever
remember trying to make her feel bad

Back then, we didn't see things like
that



Background Singing: (Chorus)

Slug: (Verse 3)

There used to be a spot called the
Boulevard Theater and as a kid when a movie came out I would see it there

Sneakin in to the "R" rated feature

I think i was 15 thats how i met
Lisa

She showed up, with a group of fly girls

So and me and my crew
was in super fly world

After the flick we went outside, paired off, took a
walk, into that night

I can't imagine that happening now

The
innocence is gone and all the magic ran out

I wonder if my son will get
to understand the fun that comes from the summer with the one you call the
one



Background Singing: (Chorus)

Slug: (Verse 4)

They used to be a fear and a nervousness
but back then it wasn't because of domestic disturbances

It used to just
hurt your heart, But now it's not enough until it rips your universe apart

Got to see a lot of love when i was a kid

Heartbreak made me want to
die, but I never did

So this is for my old baby sitter, wanted to sneak
out and fall asleep by the lake with ya

Smells like candy, felt like
family, For every girl that ever helped me in the back seat

used to
vision being love struck with them

Till I got blindsided by these grown
up women



Background Singing: (Chorus)

one) X8
