Pretty in Punk Lyrics
Walking off that stage tonight
I know what you're thinking
And he stands alone, because he's high on himself
But if you only knew
I was terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you
And watched you smile
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me
Well I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right,
But that's none of my business is it?
I'm not the way you think I am
The only girl who ever gave me the time
Was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine
Knocking boots in the back, how degrading is that?
I decline.

Well I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right,
But that's none of my business is it?
I'm not the way you think I am
The only girl who ever gave me the time
Was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine
Knocking boots in the back, how degrading is that?
I decline.

FOB is so good...this is my favorite kind of music...sorta punkish/emo but with a singer who doesnt just yell, he can REALLY sing well
not many of the few people that i know have ever heard of this song. it's good. my favorite line is "i was terrified would you mind if i sat next to you and watched you smile?"
my favorite song off the first cd...the line a clever napkin commented on the lead singer's voice sounds great busting out that line...the song is brilliantly put together
I said it once, and I'll say it again, Patrick's voice is HOTT! I could listen to it all day and not get sick of it
This may sound idiotic, but this song changed my life. The line "i'm not the way you think I am" got me to realise I could just be myself. It made me realise that I needed to stop pretending, and stop focusing on fitting in, and start focusing on being me. The first time I heard this song was the first day of the rest of my life. It' one of the first song's Peter ever wrote, but it's still amazinv to me. About 25 months latter, this song still means the world to me. I owe almsot everything I am today to Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz, Patrick Martin Stumph, Andrew Hurley, and Joe Trohman.
And btw: "I'm not the way you think I am"
"and he stands alone, because he's high on himself"
Love that line. Reminds me of someone i know. Awsome song.
amazing song did pete or patrick write this?
Not sure which one wrote it. Probably Pete cause he writes most of them, but I've heard Patrick rights a few

"the only girl who ever gave me the time was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine "
:-\ i cant even find a quality line to comment on. Thats never good.
This is a hidden gem of a song... I love the line
"well i've seen your boyfriend and i dont think he treats you right, but thats none of my business is it?"
