All the girls in the bathroom talking
Who their gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are hurting but I kept on walking
A smile on my face and air guitar rocking

The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh

The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater

Sitting in the back of my next class nappin'
Gotta give a speech
Then bowed to the clappin'
Then told a funny joke
And the whole class laughing
Think I got a tan from the light in which I was baskin'

The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh

The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater

Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarter back asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
Since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning
Only to be stopped by a girl so stunning

She said "your smooth and good with talking, will
You go with me to the Sadie Hawkins"

The Sadie Hawkins dance
In my khaki pants
There's nothing better
Oh oh oh

The girls ask the guys
Its always a surprise
There's nothing better baby
Do you like my sweater
Do you like my sweater

    General Comment:a saide hawkins dance is the dance when the girls ask the guys right
    isnt it also the dance when you and your partner have to wear the same thing....
    here i assume that its sweaters and khaki pants (good choice :-)

    General Comment:um dont mean to be a raincloud here but DO THESE GUYS LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD?!?!?!? idk. they either are completely filled with Gods spirit so much that they never see anything but rainbows and cotton candy or theyre just like trippin! life isnt just cute bunnies, and giggling about boys in the bathroom! theres pain and anger and hate! thats not all there is but if i were ever to write for a band i would at least have a good balance. these guys seem like ALWAYS ok. dont they ever think about anything but doing fun things??

    i know im being pretty harsh and they do have catchy songs which i do listen to on the 62 percent of the year that im in a good mood....

    General Comment:I love how Relient K is a "christian" band yet most of their songs don't mention the christian religion..not even a warped personification of it as most "christian" bands do.
