And maybe I'm not as tall as him
Maybe he's got a slier grin
Maybe he knows how to tell a joke
That leaves the whole room laughing
Maybe he's got better hair
Maybe he's got that savoir faire
Or the romanticism I seem to lack
Maybe he can show me how to win you back
Maybe he's down on his knees
Maybe he's more eager to please
Maybe he's more giving and kind
And careful and sensitive
Maybe I should take the clue
Let the fates do what they do
Maybe I should write it on the wall
So we could read about how everything falls apart
Do I measure up, do I make the cut
Will I be your only one when everything is said and done
Maybe he's more hip
Maybe he's got a stronger grip
On what's cool and what's in and what makes you
When he takes you, when did he take you
Do I measure up, do I make the cut
Will I be your only one when everything is said and done
Maybe I'm just the kid
Sitting in the back of the class
Raising my hand saying pick me
