The Judges Daughter was written by Billie Joe Armstrong during his high school years about the feeling of love, and how it can be terrifying or debilitating the first time it strikes hard. Along with the rest of the album, The Judges Daughter tells the classic story of a boy who likes a girl. She do...
[Verse 1]
Princess in a school girl's dream, may I please speak with you?
I'm having troubles with control and it's all because of you
Today I kept on falling down, I thought it was the street
So I looked down at my shoes, they were on the wrong feet
[Chorus 1]
And I find it hard to be myself, can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health, you're the one to blame
You're the one I wish I had and now my girlfriend's getting mad
I cannot call this sane, I cannot call this sane
[Verse 2]
Today as I was walking down, you bumped into me
You said, "Excuse me," and walked away as I dropped to my knees
I prayed to the being in the sky that my parents told me of
I asked about you, but no reply, no clues about your love
[Chorus 2]
And I find it hard to be myself, can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health, you're the one to blame
My girlfriend left me on the phone, I'm pathetically left here alone
I cannot call this sane, I cannot call this sane
[Bridge]
Can we find a way
So that you can stay?
I think I'm gonna pop
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
I find it hard to be myself, can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health, you're the one to blame
You're the one I wish I had and now my girlfriend's getting mad
I cannot call this sane, I cannot call this sane
[Outro]
Can we find a way
So that you can stay?
I think I'm gonna pop
