Avril Lavigne – Sk8er Boi lyrics
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she'd never tell but
Secretly she wanted him as well.

But all of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
.

Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby
She's all alone

She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up mtv.

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show

She tags along and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slamin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slamin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boys mine now

We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be

There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each others world

I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know!

I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know!

    This song made me love Avril Lavigne. It shows how you should never judge someone on how they look. It also hints on that you shouldn't listen to peer pressure. It is what is inside that counts! The song is a story that shows this. The boy likes the girl and the girl kinda likes him, too. As all of us know, you are judged all of the time. The boy is a loser while the girl is popular. She doesn't go out with him because her friends think that he is weird. When they get older he proves that he is more than just a skater boy. There is more than meets the eye. The girl lost her chance. Overall, don't judge someone without getting to know them. Jumping to conclusions on how they look doesn't show what is on the inside. It seems a little like karma, too. The boy proved that he was better than what people thought, after she turned him down. This almost happened to me. My boyfriend is wonderful and I love him, but it wasn't like that before. He was considered a loser and people teased me for being his girlfriend. I broke up with him, but I now realize that it was wrong. I asked for forgiveness, and we are happy together. I ignore all of the people who just see the bad side of him and never try to find the good. Sure, we are picked-on a lot, but it is worth it. He is so sweet and I love him more than anything.

    I really like this song, because it shows that you shouldnt judge people by their cover because you will regret it someday. You should always treat someone like you would your best friend. Because then that way everyone gets treated by what they deserve. Then in everyones eyes you are nice and important and you are making their day by being nice. Be careful what you say to people, because it will come back someday and bite you in the but.

    This song I can totally relate to because the guy I like everyone thinks he is ugly but I don't I don't care if he is ugly it is what's on the inside that counts. So I believe in love at first sight. This song to me means don't judge a person by their looks in fact don't judge at all love them for who the are & not for who you what them to be & if u love someone don't let anyone take that love away

    There's only 1 thing
    2 do
    3 words
    4 you
    I LOVE YOU

    I relate well to this song. I was asked out by one of my guy friends, that I actually liked a lot (still do, pretty sure that he likes me too), and got so nervous when he asked me in front of the whole class, that I turned him down. He's had two girlfriends since then. How I feel when I listen to this song is that when you miss your chance, and then you see the real person after the fact you regret it forever after that. Once you realized that it was your opportunity cost and that it may never happen again you feel horrible about it for awhile after words. This is the first song that I absolutely knew was by Avril Lavigne.
