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 u...
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 u...
I didn't mean to stalk u, 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 u...
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 u...
