Not Long Ago In My High School Days

I Watched A Girl From So Far Away

But Every Time She Passed Me By

I Turned My Head Away And Quietly Sighed

And When She Walked By

Her Hair Would Dance A Secret Tango

That Only I Could Understand

And If She Asked Me For The Time Of Day

I'd Look Her In The Eyes And Quietly Say


Oooo...Kristina, Kristina

Do You Have Any Clue Who I Am?

(hell No)

So Listen Up Because I'll Tell You Once

And I'll Explain Myself The Best That I Can

Oooo...Kristina, Kristina

You Don't Know Me So I'll Have To Persist

I'm Kind Of Shy So Don't Wonder Why

Kristina She Don't Know I Exist


From Class To Class I Followed Her

But I Swore I'd Leave Her Undisturbed

And If She Ever Stopped And Turned Around

I Got So Nervous And I Stared At The Ground

And Then One Day In Photography

I Found A Contact Print That I Could Not Believe

And There She Was Staring Back At Me

So I Took Her Home So Quietly


It's Been A Day That I've Come To Hate

As I Walked Into The Video Store

There She Stood As My Jaw Fell To The Floor

Tapping Her Toe Waiting In Line

With A Movie And Another Guy

Why Did I Bother?

Why Did I Care About This Girl Named Kristina Behr?

Kristina, Kristina

You'll Never Get To Know Who I Am

This Is Goodbye So Please Don't Cry

And I'll Let You Down As Softly As I Can

Kristina, Kristina

Another Name To Cross Off My List

In Another Life It Could Have Been Nice

But Kristina She Won't Know What She Missed
