Tell Me What I Did
My nose was hurting
and I was shouting something
we were two kids
and I was fat and grumpy.
Pushed you down some stairs.
I said, "your mom smelled like old underwear",
and then you split my lip,
Will you tell me what I did
Tell me what I did.
(ohh ohh ohh)
Tell me what I did.
(ohh ohh ohh)
Shelly was pretty.
She studied Algebra.
She made some cookies,
for the whole math class.
She would talk to me,
even though I was a bully.
I always knew she'd be somebody.
Now she's the editor-and-cheif,
of a free magizene.
(ohh ohh ohh)
Tell me what I did.
(ohh ohh ohh)
Tell me.
(ahh ah ahh)x2
The kids formed a circle,
just like enter the dragon.
I was defending myself
from snowballs coming at me.
I said I'll come back then,
and get you one on one.
Oh yay, we're no longer friends,
cause they started to run.
Screaming tell me what I did,
tears in my eyes.
Tell me what I did.
Tell me what I did.
Tell me what I did.
(ohh ohhh ohh)
Tell me what I did
(ohh ohh ohh)
Tell me what I did
(ohh ohh ohh)
Tell me what I did.
Tell me what I did.
(ohh ohh ohh)
Oh
and I was shouting something

Will you tell me what I did
Tell me what I did.
