D                                  C
I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart
         G                  D
I'm so scared to take you away
                                C
I tried to win her over right from the start
     G                           D
But something always got in the way
                                         C
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
         G                           D
But she won't even come out and say hi
                                C
While my mother baked a little cake for you
           G
And even dreaded when you said goodbye

Chorus:
F                                     G
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
                                       D
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
F                                 G
I'm inclined to go finish high school
                                   A
Just to make her notice that I'm around

Well nothing I come up with seems to work
It feels like everything I say is a lie
And never have I felt like such a jerk
I'm afraid to even open my eyes
Because I really don't want her to judge me
I want her to really know who I am
And then and only then will she love me
Well at least that was the plan

Chorus:
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
I just hope I don't act the same way
By the time that I get that old

What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
I'm inclined to go finish high school
Just to make her notice that I'm around

I never said I was the heir to a fortune
I never claimed to have any looks
But these kind of things must be important
Because somebody ripped out my page
in your telephone book
I wanna warm her heart
