lyrics:
When I met the girl with the strawberry hair
I was sitting in class and I felt her stare
I was only fifteen when she smiled at me
But when I met her eyes I changed suddenly
Every day, she pulls out her pink pencil case
With the floral design and the blue bits of lace
And she made it herself, it reminds her of home
‘Cause out here you can feel you’re alone
Oh, Strawberry Girl
Talk to me
And we’ll change the world
Just wait and see
And I bought a bouquet
That I’ll keep in my room
And I’ll write a whole song
But not sing it to you
‘Cause you’re the girl with the strawberry hair
And I’m just the kid in blue
Once she sat next to me at the beaten up desk
That nobody sits at, and I’ll never forget
How I almost had talked and we could have been friends
But I sat there and finished my work instead
Now she’ll walk into class with a beautiful dress
And she’ll smile at me like I’m not such a mess
And I pray that she can’t see the look in my eye
‘Cause when she smiles at me like that, I die
Oh, Strawberry Girl
Talk to me
And we’ll change the world
Just wait and see
I’ve been saving your seat
But it’s not very hard
My heart’s broken before
But I’ve kept all the shards
For the girl with the strawberry hair
And she isn’t in my cards
I don't know what to do
I don't know where to start
I’ve been running from you
And ignoring my heart
So I’ll cut out my eyes,
Wander into the dark
Hope my love for you dies
Before it makes its mark
Oh, Strawberry Girl
Talk to me
And we’ll change the world
Just wait and see
I’ve said more in this song
Than I’ve said to your face
But a bad conversation
Is hard to erase
I love the girl with the strawberry hair
And that was my first mistake
