[Verse 1]
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west L.A. or New York or Santa Fe
Or wherever to get away from me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but that one day
Was more than okay
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh, I was overwhelmed, and frankly, scared as well
Because I really fell for you

[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it, sue me
They look right through me
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
[Verse 2]
On the other side of a downward spiral
My love for you went wild
I loved you every mile you drove away
But now, here you are again
So, let's skip the "How you been?"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it was so right
It's still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
Oh, I was overwhelmed, and frankly, scared as well
Because I really fell for you

[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it, sue me
They look right through me
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
[Bridge]
Please believe
That when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too

[Breakdown]
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause...

[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it, sue me
They look right through me
Oh, I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
