That she got the love and the bricks that I laid Could never have known I was paving the way For him to be ready, oh, isn't it funny It’s just the right timing She was right there It wouldn’t have mattered If I was prepared A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare He chose to be ready The moment that I wasn’t there There, there I said it there, there I was unprepared There, guess I'm not so rare When I was right there, there There, there I'll be okay There, there She doesn't know I'm here Here, I try to not compare When I was right there It's just the right timing She was right there It wouldn't have mattered If I was prepared A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare He chose to be ready The moment that I wasn't there
