I DIDN'T KNOW, I DIDN'T


Had I known that the prerequisite
for our relationship
was beating your step dad Rex
on a mountain bike
I would have challenged him to a rematch
I didn't know we were racing
I didn't
I didn't
I thought we were having a lovely day
meandering the hills
Instead it was just a test for me
to you I'm Unathletic...

now there's all this resentment
you're not the man
I thought you were
I didn't know
I didn't...

riding alone
I can feel it
Its over between us
the end...
in the hills above Tarzana
over looking PCH
you left me
with pride full resentment...

So go on... ride around
anywhere you want
I didn’t wanna catch up anyhow
I didn't care
I didn't
I didn't know that you were such a biker!
would have taken some lessons
so I could keep up...
Maybe it was because I had the Shwinn
it was old rusty and a slow mover
If I had had a racing bike like yours
I would have beat both a ya...
I didn't know
I didn't
so go on with your bad selves
ride on ride on ride on...
