I got a new shirt for school yesterday, and my mom said
I looked really handsome in it.
I got a new shirt, I got a new shirt, 'cause I thought that
you might like me in it.
I got a new shirt, I got a new shirt, 'cause I thought that
you might wear my ring, if I wore that striped short-
sleeve shirt.

Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis, when you left for college I thought you were busy.
Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis, tell me why you had to go so far away.
I thought you'd call me because you would miss me.
I guess I understand you're busy.
I thought you'd write me because you liked me.
But do you even think about me?
I know I'm dumb compared to serorities. (Yes, you are.)
And I don't like to go to parties. (No, you don't.)
But I thought for sure that I meant more to you than anyone.
Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis, when you left for college I thought you were busy.
Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis, tell me why you had to go so far away.
I thought you'd call me because you would miss.
I never, ever thought you'd diss me.
I thought you'd write me because you liked me.
Sometimes I think you just forgot me.
I know I'm dumb compared to serorities. (Yes, you are.)
And I don't like to go to parties. (No, you don't.)
But I thought for sure that I meant more to you than anyone.
Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis. Heather Lewis, Heather Lewis.
I thought you knew it.

    Pretty sure it's " ...when you left for college I thought you would visit.", not "you were busy.".
