like most things in my life - i met her on the internet
i was still finding myself not quite centered yet
nerd in a sweater get ladies on the regulet
better yet - she aint know my game or the yella vette
i just a teen with the hormones raging
she a pretty girl seemed prime for the occasion
hit her with the request chat at her behest
bout her favorite color and how i am the leetest

all the sudden saw my nights turn sleepless
late night instant messaging trading secrets
talking bout the feelings in the past we mightve repressed
bout our families and dreams dislikes and what we detest
tired in the morning and my boy is asking "why you yawning?"
dont wanna tell him i was dreaming all night
with a girl from the internet hinging on her pink font
moment she emoted i knew she was everything i want

yea i know were a long long way from home plate
and i cant stop thinking bout the way that she make me feel
but no matter how long this girl make me wait
it dont matter cause she got that second base appeal

learned a couple sweet tricks twisted a balloon
in the shape of a heart took a picture in my room
made her laugh - she sent me a picture in a santa hat
told her i would see her for the holidays and handle that
she let out a little giggle told me she was shy
but she sure would like to meet me i seemed like a nice enough guy
asked "would you be nervous - if you met up with my friends?
at a basketball game at my school?"

"that depends - are your buddies cool with a dirty nerdy
dropout breaking all the rules?" (hell yea)
so i got her address got up off the mattress
this was back in 1999 so i mapquest
printed out directions marked up all the exits
went up to the jewelry store and bought her up a necklace
told her i would see her and i hope her expectation
met reality as soon i as stepped out my whip and gazed in to her eyes

yea i know were a long long way from home plate
and i cant stop thinking bout the way that she make me feel
but no matter how long this girl make me wait
it dont matter cause she got that second base appeal

well it did - and she was all i hoped for
made me feel all full of warm and fuzzies like a coat store
so i wrote more - every time i was away from her i felt i moped more
so i had to cope more
burning gas racking up the mileage every meeting
just to put a little sweet in after school and on the weekend
holding hands going HAM at the movies and the pink shop
take her up to party city buy her up a ring pop

she a little innocent parents old fashioned
i wont jump the gun on a night of rushed passion
got the world in a kiss solar system in a stare
and a galaxy of feelings swirling in the air
two of us a pair in twitterpation
and its only getting better every second that were waiting
no debating going on gonna take this girl to prom
and i can do the rest later paris or milan

yea i know were a long long way from home plate
and i cant stop thinking bout the way that she make me feel
but no matter how long this girl make me wait
it dont matter cause she got that second base appeal
i know were a long long way from home plate
and i cant stop thinking bout the way that she make me feel
but no matter how long this girl make me wait
it dont matter cause she got that second base appeal
