There was this kid a few years back

a little older than me

who lived in my house

and looked a lot like my mother

There was this kid i knew back

then and i was sure he would be

the greatest star i'd ever known

I'd watch him walk into a room

and he was never out of place

He knew the answer to every question

The square and root of every prime

a name to go with every face

like he was king upon a throne

and we had nothing in common

nothing in common

my mother was convinced

that i failed english out of spite

we had nothing in common

nothing in common

and 30 some years later

i'm still tortured and amazed

by how Daivd always got the answers right

Now later on i knew this guy

he was in high school i think

Had lots of friends and was

the pride of the family

he'd call me names and punch my head

and made me feel like a dink

and i would hide from him all day

But if i couldn't find a friend

which happened more than i'd have liked

i'd go where he was and sulk around him

He'd say you don't know how to throw

and just don't play your stupid songs

and then he'd toss the ball my way

We had nothing in common

nothing in common

I thought he was a jerk and who know

what he thought i'd be

We had nothing in common

nothing in common

But 20 some years later i'm still grateful

and surprised

by the little gifts that David gave to me

I knew this guy before I wed

he had a vision in his head

of how his life would play out

and his dreams would come true

But he was stumbling he was stalled

and every year after he called

i'd just think man there goes

the lonliest guy I ever knew

People think i'm failing

They never understand

But temporary set backs

are part of what I planned

And David had his vision

and david played his game

We have nothing much in common

but we are more or less the same

There was a guy who met a girl

who had a cat that fell in love

that got a house and made a vow

he took her hand

and they lived happily ever after

happily ever after

happily ever after
