Lyrics
Not long ago, in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
And every time she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed
And when she walked by, her hair would dance
A secret tango that only I could understand
And if she'd ask me for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say
Oh, Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no!)
So listen up, cause I'll tell you once, and I'll explain myself the best that I can, woah
Kristina, Kristina
You don't know me so I'll have to persist
I'm kinda shy, so no wonder why
Kristina, she don't know I exist
From class to class, I followed her
But I swore I'd leave her undisturbed
And if she'd ever stopped and turned around
I got so nervous that I'd stare at the ground
And then one day in photography
I found a contact print that I could not believe
And there she was staring back at me
So I took her home so quietly
Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no!)
So listen up, cause I'll tell you once, and I'll explain myself the best that I can, woah
Kristina, Kristina
You don't know me so I'll have to persist
I'm kinda shy, so no wonder why
Kristina, she don't know I exist
1.17.98 has been a day that I've come to hate
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line
With a movie and another guy
Why did I bother, why did I care?
About this girl named Kristina Behr?
Kristina, Kristina
You'll never get to know who I am (Your loss!)
This is goodbye, so please don't cry and I'll let you down as softly as I can
Kristina, Kristina
Another name to cross off my list
Another life, it could've been nice
But Kristina, she won't know what she missed
