Stupid
Tess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooooh
Soo Stupid!

Het is weer zover
Kriebels in m'n maag
wat doe ik ermee, stel ik hem de vraag
ik zie hem al lopen en draai me om
ik weet wel zeker, hij vind me vast dom...

Refrein.
Hoe kom ik erachter
wie schakel ik in
wie is nu eigenlijk m'n beste vriendin
ik moet het echt weten
ik red het zo niet,
ik doe steeds zo stupid
(telkens als hij me ziet)

We zijn aan het sporten
ik loop met de bal
als hij nou voorbij loopt, doe ik net of ik val
hij heeft niets gezien, hij kijkt zelfs niet om
ik weet nu zeker, hij vind me vast dom

Refrein.

Het gebeurd me elke keer
en altijd doet het me zeer
nooit stel ik de vraag: zeg zie jij me graag
het gaat me nooit lukken
ik blijf altijd alleen





Refrein. 2x
