Lyrics

Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
But every time she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed
And when she walked by her hair would dance
A secret tango that only I could understand
And when she'd ask me for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say

Oh kristina, kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (hell no!)
So listen up cause i'll tell ya once and i'll explain myself the best that I can, whoa
Kristina, kristina, you don't know me so ill have to persist, [whistle]
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why
Kristina she don't know I exist

From class to class, I followed her
But I swore i'd leave her undisturbed
And if she'd ever stopped and turned around
I'd get so nervous that i'd stare at the ground
And then one day in photography
I found a contact print that I could not believe
And there she was staring back at me
So I took her home so quietly

Kristina, kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (hell no!)
So listen up cause i'll tell ya once and i'll explain myself the best that I can
Kristina, kristina, you don't know me so i'll have to persist, [whistle]
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why
Kristina she don't know I exist

1.17.98 has been a day that i've come to hate
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor
Tapping her toe, waiting in line
With a movie and another guy
Why did I bother, why did I care
About this girl named kristina behr?

Kristina, kristina, you'll never get to know who I am (your loss!)
This is goodbye so please don't cry and i'll let you down as softly as I can
Kristina, kristina, another name to cross off my list
Another life, it could've been nice, but kristina she won't know what she missed
