He wasn't much to look at
I wouldn't call him 'fun'
He was twelve years old
and I was just eleven
My friends thought I was crazy
But my innocence was won
by the boy who introduced my heart
to heaven
He was the smartest boy in the whole sixth grade
And I couldn't believe I'd found him
Though his teeth were in braces and his dockers were frayed
I just wanted to be around him
There are men who make you lose yourself
Or fill you with regret
But Adam won my lifelong love
Because he played the clarinet
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I wanted nothing more than to share a stand
With this prodigy of perfection
I dreamt of after school practice with the Junior High band
Where we'd sit in the woodwind section
So I marched into the band room
and became a devotee
For Adam was my lifelong love
and this would make him notice me
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh, how I practiced
God, did I suck
Adam gave lessons
I was in luck
All the scales he made me learn by heart
I had never seen him look so cute
I told him that his music was an art
He told me that his girlfriend played the flute
I was the dumbest girl in the whole fifth grade
And now everyone else had seen it
I announce, "I quit the band! My decision has been made."
But I wish that I didn't mean it
For the music had a hold on me
much more than any fling
I knew I found my lifelong love
And Adam didn't mean a thing
The marching band was not for me
But in the choir I could sing
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo-bee doo-bee doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo-wah
He was the smartest boy in the whole sixth grade
