It's always been up to your friends

They'll make your mind up for you

The popularity's gone to your head

But still I don't ignore you

You ran for school election

You even got my vote

And did you know?

My favourite pastime's poetry

And your study I wrote



[Chorus:]



Just because I'm nerdy

And my friends are thirty

It doesn't mean that I swing that way

You've got complications

And a reputation

Wouldn't wanna get in your way

Oh anyway



This morning you walked past my door

Just like a daydream

But much more

I followed you round to the store

And I was shell-shocked

When I saw

You and your friends were smoking

It always makes me choke

And did you know?

I'd do anything to have you

But I wouldn't take your toke

Hey



[Chorus:]



Just because I'm nerdy

And my friends are thirty

It doesn't mean that I swing that way

You've got complications

And a reputation

Wouldn't wanna get in your way

Oh anyway



Anyway, anyway yeah



You said my words were beautiful

They almost made you cry

The markings on the wall were jaded

I wonder why?



Just because you're nerdy

And your friends are thirty

Doesn't mean she won't swing your way

She's got complications

And a reputation

Go ahead and stand in her way



Just because you're nerdy

And your friends are thirty

Doesn't mean she won't swing your way

She's got complications

And a reputation

Go ahead and stand in her way

But anyway

Anyway

Anyway
