Just a "hi" from you is enough,
It gives me a crazy high.
Just your touch is enough,
My heart gets a thrilling buzz.
Whether you smile or glare at me,
My heartbeat shoots right up.
Throwing all shame and pride aside,
I'll keep chasing after you.
Hey, my bicycle is my ride,
Scribbling on the school bathroom wall.
Tell her to come to the canteen,
Tell her to pay my bill!
When she walks by,
Shout out my name!
If she gives a smile,
My love is all set!
Inside my classroom,
I used to be a total nobody.
From now on, man,
I'll be the coolest guy in school!
I put on style just like that, girl,
From now on, I rule this school, girl!
I put on style just like that, girl,
From now on, I rule this school, girl!
On top of one book,
I'll stack another book,
And as you walk past,
I'll sneak a look at you.
Like a well-behaved boy,
I will pretend to be,
Even if there's plenty of room,
I'll bump right into you.
Your heart is like an ink bottle,
Spilling over with love inside.
My ink pen is lying empty,
Fill it up with your love for me!
Your eyes are round like glass marbles,
My heart pops like a toy cap-gun cracker.
Calling you and hearing your voice
Put an end to my sleep!
In front of the boys from the next class,
I'll stand bold and fearless, girl!
I'll stand bold and fearless, girl!
If any other guy tries to mess with you,
I'll knock his teeth out, girl!
I'll knock his teeth out, girl!
I put on style just like that, girl,
From now on, I rule this school, girl!
Hey, my bicycle is my ride,
Scribbling on the school bathroom wall.
Tell her to come to the canteen,
Tell her to pay my bill!
When she walks by,
Shout out my name!
If she gives a smile,
My love is all set!
Inside my classroom,
I used to be a total nobody.
From now on, man,
I'll be the coolest guy in school!
I put on style just like that, girl,
From now on, I rule this school, girl!
