Not long ago in my high school days   I watched a girl from so far away   And everytime 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 if she asked for the time of day   I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say:   Chorus:   Oh,Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am?   hell no)   So listen up because I'll tell you once   and I'll explain myself the best that I can.   Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist.   I'm kind of shy so don't 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 ever stopped by and turned around I got so nervous   and I stared at the ground.   And then one day in photography I foud a contact   print that I could not believe and there she was   staring back at me so I took her home so quietly.   Chorus:   Kristina Kristina Do you have any clue who I am?   hell no)   So listen up because I'll tell you once   and I'll explain myself the best that I can.   Oh,Kristina Kristina You don't know me so I'll have to persist.   I'm kind of shy so don't wonder why Kristina she don't know I exist.   [Instrumental]   1.17.98 it's 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, and waiting in line, with a movie   and another guy   Why did I bother? Why did I care?   About this girl named Kristina over there?   Kristina Kristina You'll never get to know who I am.(your loss)   So this is goodbye so please don't cry   and I'll let you down as softly as I can.   Oh Kristina Kristina another name to cross off my list.   In another life it could have been nice but Kristina   she won't know what she missed.   [short ending instrumental]
