Chorus

Why can’t things be like they used ta be?/
Everything has changed since you met Adam B./
C’mon now, girl, why can’t ya see?/
You should be standin’ right here next ta me/

Verse # 1

We first met in grade eight, on the first day of school/
Everyone came in with new gear, tryin’ ta act cool/
We both had Ms. Brewster as our homeroom teacher/
I admit, I checked her out, dat would anger any preacher/
But she looked pretty good and I must say, I was impressed/
I knew she’d be a girl who could cause me a lot of stress/
But I was still curious, so I asked a female friend I knew/
"I saw you two talkin’, do you know her, does she know you?”/
She said, “Yeah, man, her name is SAL and we go way back”/
I said, “Cool, I know her name, now, can you give me some stats?”/
She told me, “She used to go to Bridgewater, this is her first day.”/
I said, “See ya” to my friend and then I walked away/

Chorus

Verse #2

We became really close friends right from the very start/
Always shared everything, never kept one another in the dark/
She always told me the different guys she liked, who she wanted to date/
I’d tell her if the guy was cool, I’d never give them any hate/
All the while, I just gritted my teeth and just tried ta hide/
The fact that I wasn’t on her list, I was never identified/
As a guy that she’d feel that way for, gotta say, it hurt my pride/
I hate to admit it, man, but there were some nights that I cried/
See, I never felt that way about anyone in my life/
I liked her so much that I even imagined her as my wife/
If I’da told her how I felt at first I woulda scared her away/
That’s not what I wanted at all, I’da stayed with her all day/

Verse #3

In grade nine, we were in the exact same class, just like the year before/
She was the first person I met eyes with when I came through the door/
My first thought when I saw her was “This year is gonna be fun,/
My God, look at those eyes, man, they’re brighter than the sun”/
Part way through the year, my hopes and dreams were suddenly crushed/
All the little voices in my head were all abruptly hushed/
By that time, SAL knew the way I felt about her, so it hurt me even more/
But before that, I knew not of the pain that God had for me in store/
I then found out that my best friend had a brand new girl/
Turned out that it was SAL, that fact made me wanna hurl/
Even though it hurt me bad, me and Justin are still best friends today/
He’ll always be my homie, and that’s how it’ll always stay/

Chorus

Verse #4

Needless to say, all three of us have moved on from there in grade nine/
When we started at Park View, SAL became a lot harder to find/
In grade nine she had a rep, she viewed this as a brand new start/
We hardly ever talked in grade ten, we just grew apart/
Now she has a different boyfriend, they’ve been together for a long time/
Visions of them together stick in my brain like an extremely strong rhyme/
Ova the years she’s told me about different stuff, like fights with her mother/
She knows how I feel, she loves me too, but only like a brother/
I wrote this song to help me get some emotion off of my chest/
And ta let everyone know that to me, SAL is the very best/
Three years have passed and my feelings for her have only increased/
SAL, I love you, baby, and I will until both of us are deceased/
