Pemberton Roach - The New Kid Lyrics

First school dance
Sitting on the bleachers with my nerdy friends
Talking about Dungeons and Dragons
And BMX bikes and Skynyrd and Zeppelin
And I had just moved there
And it all seemed so strange
The place I came from was out in the boondocks
And years behind on everything
She said, hey there
Don't we both ride the 13 bus
Next thing I knew
The DJ put on Endless Love
Never thought her pink lips
Would give me my first kiss
Cause after all
I was the new kid
Everyone looked smart
They gave me a quiz to see if I was dumb
Everyone had sneakers and haircuts and book bags
I'd never even seen where I was from
And I knew nothing about girls
And they all seemed so big
All of a sudden I felt like a kindergartner
Walking in a gym full of college kids
She said, don't you
Love that new Depeche Mode song
I was too scared
To tell her I didn't know who that was
Never thought her pink lips
Would give me my first kiss
Cause after all
I was the new kid
I didn't understand
I'd never even held hands
And I had just moved there
And it all seemed so strange
The place I came from was out in the boondocks
And years behind on everything
She said, hey there
Don't we both ride the 13 bus
Next thing I knew
The DJ put on Endless Love
I never thought her pink lips
Would give me my first kiss
Cause after all
After all
I was the new kid
