D.2. Boyfriend

When I was in middle-school

I had a group of friends

We wore jean jackets and sunglasses and listened to Duran Duran

There were 6 of us so when we played it didn't add up, you see- everybody had a Duran Duran boyfriend but me

I wasn't dating Nick Rhodes

I wasn't dating Roger Taylor

I wasn't dating John Taylor

I wasn't dating Andy Taylor

I wasn't dating Simon LeBon

I was sitting by myself with my collar up, a tear in my eye and an ache in my heart and my Converse on

My Converse on

My glow-in-the-dark with pink fat laces zebra-striped Converse on

So if you are a kid and no one will play with you

Stick it out, stay tough, and you'll turn out super-cool!

When I go to a party everybody looks the same

I'm the one they recognize. Everybody knows my name

Everybody knows my name

Be yourself, don't do

What everybody tells you to do

Be yourself. Be proud of yourself. You'll be cool

Super cool! (Don't be a fool)
