This song is weird because it sounds like a females view point. It sounds like a female wrote this song or its based on the songwriters female friend who had feelings for a black guy in some school which seems college based on a comment here. I think she regrets having ignored him since he mentions she was lame and that she ignored him because she wanted to fit into the crowd yet she had feelings for him . The black guy seems to have been a minority in the school. Only a female into a guy would notice him and later admit that she had regrets that she didn't get to know him.
Nice interpretation. Mulatto means mixed (black/white), though. And decades ago it was shameful to be mulatto since society REALLY looked down upon the offspring of mixed couples. The word "mulatto" was used on legal documents in my state as late as 1987 (possibly later).
