[Verse 1]
Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
And everytime 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 for the time of day
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say

[Chorus]
Oh, Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no)
So listen up 'cause I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can
Whoa, 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

[Verse 2]
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 foud a contact print that I could not believe
And there she was staring back at me
And so I took her home so quietly
[Chorus]
Kristina, Kristina
Do you have any clue who I am? (Hell no)
So listen up 'cause I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can
Whoa, 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

[Verse 3]
1.17.98
It's been a day that I've come to hate
As I walked into the video store
And there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line
With a movie and another guy
Why did I bother? Why did I care?
About this girl named Kristina Behr?

[Chorus]
Kristina, Kristina
You'll never get to know who I am (Your loss)
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
