Lyrics
Ever since I was a kid
Reflecting on childhood
I wanted to
Expressing a desire
I never did kiss Andrea
Regret for not kissing Andrea
She was the queen of my high school
Highlighting Andrea's significance in high school
Sophomore year, I played the fool for Andrea
Admitting foolish behavior for Andrea
Oh, oh Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, emphasizing feelings
Forever sixteen in my mind
Imagining Andrea as forever young in memory
So beautiful and fine
Complimenting Andrea's beauty
Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, emotional emphasis
The invitation came to me
Receiving an invitation to a class reunion
Class reunion. Will I see Andrea?
Anticipating the possibility of seeing Andrea again
Oh oh Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, emotional emphasis
Forever sixteen in my mind
Imagining Andrea as forever young in memory (repeated)
Well have the years been kind to you Andrea?
Questioning the impact of time on Andrea's appearance
And it really blew my mind when I saw Andrea
Expressing surprise upon seeing Andrea
I could not believe my eyes
Unable to believe what is seen
I almost did not recognize
Difficulty recognizing Andrea
Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, expressing shock
She had changed, boy and how
Noting significant changes in Andrea
She said, my names Andy now
Andrea revealing a new name, "Andy"
Andy now
Repeating Andrea's new name, emphasizing change
My name is Andy now
Confirmation of the new name, "Andy"
And I did not know what to say
Expressing confusion and speechlessness
So I kissed him anyway
Despite confusion, kissing Andrea/Andy
Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, reflecting on the encounter
Oh Oh Andrea
Repeating Andrea's name, emotional emphasis (repeated)
And it really blew my mind when I saw Andrea
Reiterating the impact of seeing Andrea again
