[Verse 1]
Betty, I won't make assumptions about
Why you switched your homeroom
I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
And I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time, it was true
And the worst thing that I ever did
Is what I did to you

[Chorus]
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
But I know I...
[Verse 2]
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him

[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time, it was true
And the worst thing that I ever did
Is what I did to you

[Chorus]
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you
[Verse 3]
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled up
Like a figment of my worst intentions
She said, "James, get in, let's drive"
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinking in
And Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens
When you see my face again
And the only thing I want to do
Is make it up to you

[Bridge]
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Well, I showed up at your party
Will you have me?
Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the front porch
Front of all your stupid friends?
And when you kiss me
Will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
But I know I...

[Chorus 2]
Showed up to your party
Will you have me?
Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the front porch
In front of all your stupid friends?
And when you kiss me
Will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you

[Outro]
Standing in my car again
Kissing in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
Yeah, you know I miss you
