How to Make Purple

When I was six years old i fell in love
For a day
For a day
When she caught me staring at her face
I looked away
I looked away

We were sitting in a circle
Learning how to make purple
Well she wore red and I wore blue
So I thought I knew what to do
But I looked away
I looked away

And I'm still learning how to make purple
Ooooohhhh
Won't you teach me how to make purple?

When I was six years old I had no poise
Not much has changed
Not much has changed
I was scared of handsome girls and pretty boys
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed

I started staring at her sneakers
As the teacher played disco on the speakers
Mine were blue, hers were red and white
I dreamt about her shoes again last night
But I've forgotten her face
Cause I looked away

And I'm still learning how to make purple
Ooooohhhh
Won't you teach me how to make purple?

I thought that I knew
Just what to do
I thought making purple would be easy
Thought it was just red and blue
Nothing could be further from true
Thinkin 'bout it all's enough to make me queasy

But I'm still learning how to make purple
Ooooohhhh
Won't you teach me how to make purple?
