It's always been up to your friends
They'll make your mind up for you
The popularity's gone to your head

But still I don't ignore you
You ran for school election
You even got my vote

And did you know?
My favourite pastime's poetry
And yesterday I wrote


[Chorus:]


Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way

You've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way

Oh anyway

This morning you walked past my door

Just like a daydream
But much more
I followed you round to the store

And I was shell-shocked
When I saw
You and your friends were smoking

It always makes me choke
And did you know?
I'd do anything to have you

But I wouldn't take your toke
Hey


[Chorus:]

Just because I'm nerdy

And my friends are thirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
You've got complications

And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh anyway


Anyway, anyway yeah


You said my words were beautiful
They almost made you cry
The markings on the wall were jaded

I wonder why?

Just because you're nerdy

And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
She's got complications

And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way


Just because you're nerdy
And your friends are thirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way

She's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way

But anyway
Anyway
Anyway
