the number one lyrics

(Background Singin)

Slug: (Verse 1)

Uh Huh, her name was Stephanie something
She lived out in Richfield, Right off of Portland
I'm talkin' bout back in the 9th grade
Still had a ponytail, Couldn't grow a (hi fay?)
Used to take the 5 way out to the Suburbs
Waitin at the bus stop there was my love bird
She would get on, sit down, scoot me over
and smile with a jerry curl, resting on my shoulder
And we would hit the mall together, maybe hold each others hands, or share a Doctor Pepper,
And all we ever did was kiss, no sex
But in our defense there was never any stress

Background Singing:(Chorus)

(Your number one) X4

Slug: (Verse 2)
On the phone late at night, when I'm supposed to be in bed, momma doesn't know I'm talkin to Laynette
I had a lot, sweet nothin' to say, You could say not a whole lot has changed since this day
We was 14, but she had breast, although, we was both to young for anything sexual
Just wanted her to know that she was special
She used to write me notes,"Do you like me, Yes?, No?"
And I don't know if it was practice for later
But both of us would break our back to spend time together
I don't ever remember trying to make her feel bad
Back then, we didn't see things like that

Background Singing: (Chorus)

(Your number one) X4

Slug: (Verse 3)
There used to be a spot called the Boulevard Theater and as a kid when a movie came out I would see it there
Sneakin in to the "R" rated feature
I think i was 15 thats how i met Lisa
She showed up, with a group of fly girls
So and me and my crew was in super fly world
After the flick we went outside, paired off, took a walk, into that night
I can't imagine that happening now
The innocence is gone and all the magic ran out
I wonder if my son will get to understand the fun that comes from the summer with the one you call the one

Background Singing: (Chorus)

(Your number one) X8

Slug: (Verse 4)
They used to be a fear and a nervousness but back then it wasn't because of domestic disturbances
It used to just hurt your heart, But now it's not enough until it rips your universe apart
Got to see a lot of love when i was a kid
Heartbreak made me want to die, but I never did
So this is for my old baby sitter, wanted to sneak out and fall asleep by the lake with ya
Smells like candy, felt like family, For every girl that ever helped me in the back seat
used to vision being love struck with them
Till I got blindsided by these grown up women

Background Singing: (Chorus)

(Your number one) X8
