Baby, baby how was I to know that
I would become one of those people
That you read about in the paper
Driven by a sad obsession
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk you...
It was years of observation
And I didn't even know your name
Till our very last semester
Yeah you look just like a Charlie.
I will follow you around where you go
I will get to know you if it drives me crazy, but...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk you...
(Chorus 1)
I didn't mean to stalk you, baby
Not even at the art opening, baby
I guess your installations were pretty cool,
And so profound they were about Drew Barrymore.
Time was short, I needed answers
To the questions running through my brain,
So I looked in the art department,
Files of your history and assignments
I will follow you around where you go
I will get to know you if it drives me crazy, but...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk you...
(Chorus 2)
I didn't mean to stalk u, baby
Not even like a Beatles fan, baby
I'd never let myself sneak-in your hotel room
But, maybe wait around until your class is through.
I was only seeking intimacy
As I politely asked you out,
What's that? you've got another lady
I'll just keep seeing you in my fantasies...
I had finally prepared my heartfelt declaration
Of my absolute fixation
Left to right I had written and poured out
Every bit of information that
I had for you, but
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean to stalk you
(Repeat first chorus)
