Simply, knowing you exist
Ain't good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate
Seeing as I can't, you don't say hi and you walk by
And that time you shook my hand, it felt so nice
I swear I've never felt this way about any other guy
And I don't usually notice people's eyes but
I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally
But I was walking along and I bumped into you
Much more heavily than I'd originally planned
It was well embarrassing
And I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat
I just think that we'd get on
Oh, I wish I could tell you face to face
Instead of singing this stupid song
But yeah, I just think that we might get on
So, I went to that party
Everyone, they're kind of arty
And I was wearing this dress
'Cause I wanted to impress
But I wasn't sure if I looked my best
'Cause I was so nervous
But I carried on regardless
Strutting through each room trying to find you
And when I saw you kissing that girl
My heart, it shattered and my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak, I stuttered
And my friends were like, "Whatever
You'll find someone better
His eyes are way to close together
And we never even liked him from the start
And now he's with that tart
And I heard she done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael"
"He said she's easy
And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy
Then he ain't worth your time
'Cause you deserve a real nice guy"
So, I proceeded to get drunk and to cry
Locked myself in the toilets for the entire night
Saturday night, I watched Channel 5
I particularly liked CSI
I don't ever dream about you and me
I don't ever make up stuff about us
That would because that's insanity
I don't ever drive by your house
To see if you're in
I don't even have an opinion
On that tramp that you are still seeing
I don't know your timetable
I don't know your face of by heart
But I must admit that there's still a part of me
That thinks we might get on
That we could get on, that we should get on
Ain't good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate
Seeing as I can't, you don't say hi and you walk by
And that time you shook my hand, it felt so nice
I swear I've never felt this way about any other guy
And I don't usually notice people's eyes but
I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally
But I was walking along and I bumped into you
Much more heavily than I'd originally planned

I just think that we'd get on
Oh, I wish I could tell you face to face

i don't think there should be a comma in "well embarrassing" though, well is used to mean "really" or "very" quite often i guess i don't know if it's just in london or what but i'm pretty sure that's what she meant
And damn you, 'easy' girls.

Because that is insanity
thats actually I don't ever make up stufff about us that would be classed as insanity
and I never usually notice people's eyes
thats don't instead of never
I don't think that the part with the eyes is a metaphor or something, I think she's just singing how it's really been: there is this guy who is with a slut and he's not the prettiest boy ever but still she likes him a lot and all her friends tell her, that he isn't that special and that she is so much cooler than his new girlfriend. And no one really take her serious or cares because evey one thinks it was only a crush and they never really been together so she can not be very hurt, but in fact, she is and can't tell anyone so that she just acts like she doesn't care.
I can relate to mostly EVERYTHING in this song, except for the "bumping into him"-part.
The best line is: "So I proceeded to get drunk and to cry and lock myself in the toilets for the entire night" after her friends said that she deserved someone better, because I can totally feel the situation and how this feels and that you really want to forget him and don't care about him, but you still do, even if he always picks the tramps..
