“About A Girl” is the first single by The Academy Is… from their third studio album, Fast Times at Barrington High. The song was number 39 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.

[Verse 1]
One song about a girl
Can't breathe when I'm around her
I wait here everyday in case
She scratched the surface
She'll never notice
[Chorus]
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl
(hey!)
[Verse 2]
Last night I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines so well rehearsed, tongue-tied
And overloaded
You never notice
[Chorus]
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl
I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl
[Bridge]
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone wants
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for?
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words...
[Chorus]
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl
I'm not in love
(To be loved, to be loved, what more
Could you ask for)
This is not my heart
(To be loved, to be loved, everyone
Wants to be loved)
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl
(To be loved, to be loved)
