Schoolgirl Crush

So you got all dolled up for the party
You said "I didn't want to go but they made me!"
You feel like you've done nothing with your life
And you don't want to advertise that
You walk in
She's there with her nametag on
As beautiful as ever even thirty years on
She smiles as she says "You Got Old!"
She still knows how to cut you where you live

And there he is at the end of the bar
The boy who used to worship you from afar
Though you never gave him the time of day
If you spoke to him now what would he say?

Does he still hold a candle for you?
Does he ever think about what you're up to?
When he's home alone at night do you ever cross his mind?
Does he still hold a candle for you?

And Over there is Marcus, your first schoolgirl crush
Back then he seemed cool, aloof and dangerous
You used to dream of seeing him undressed
Now he's older and rounder and receding at best
But his confidence is still intact
And his grin when he sees you shows the unpleasant fact
That he was the first of all your bad choices
Sleaze before you knew what sleaze was

Still there he is in his dark blue suit
The boy Sue told you had a crush on you
You laughed it off casually
But what kind of man has he grown up to be?

Does he still hold a candle for you?
Does he ever think about what you're up to?
When he's home alone at night do you ever cross his mind?
Does he still hold a candle for you?

A little while later while talking to Sue
He stands up from the bar and looks straight at you
You panic inside but give nothing away
As he says

Does he still hold a candle for you?
Does he ever think about what you're up to?
And you wonder "Should he have been the one?
If he had been the one
Would we be happy?"
