When I first saw you

Something stirred within me

You were standing sultry in the rain

If I could've held you

I would've held you

And when I next saw you

My heart reached out for you

My arms stuck like glue to my sides

If I could've held you, I would've held you

But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride

And there were times I'd take my pen

And feel obliged to start again

I do profess that there are things in life

That one can't quite express

You know me, I'm acting dumb-dumb

You know this scene is very humdrum

And my favorite song's entitled "Boredom"

I said rip it up and start again

I said rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up

Rip it up

Rip it up

Rip it up

Rip it up (whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Rip it up (ooh-ooh-ooh)
