lyrics

The students vote, the students choose
This is a crown you can’t refuse
There were some losers, true
They can’t get much better than you
I need a boy to be with me, you said
You will be mine—My accessory

I’d ask you to dance
But you’d only leave me empty hands
I haven’t a chance
Oh it’s not up to me
I know you’d agree

Back to the wall is where I’ll be
I wanna be a tragedy
I make a point to not be seen
Ashley, I know why you’re the queen
This royalty always comes in twos
He’ll be the boy to be with you
Surprised? Surprised that

I’d ask you to dance
But you’d only leave me empty hands
I haven’t a chance
I know, I know

I’d ask you to dance
But you’d only leave—
you’d rather leave this dance with class!
I haven’t a chance
Oh it’s not up to me
I know you’d agree

Childhood friends aside
We’ve got such separate lives
This is how it ends for you and me
I want to be, I want to be a
La-la-la-la-la I want to be a tragedy
