Verse 1:
G C D G
Not long ago in my high school days, I watched a girl from so far away,
Em C D G
But every time she passed me by, I turned my head away and quietly sighed.
G C D G
And when she walked by her hair would dance, a secret tango that only I could understand,
Em C D G
And when she?d ask me for the time of day, I?d look her in the eyes and quietly say.
Chorus:
G C D G
Oh Kristina, Kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em C D G
So listen up cause I?ll tell ya once and I?ll explain myself the best that I can.
G C D G
Whoa! Kristina, Kristina, you don?t know me so I'll have to persist, (whistle)
Em C D G
I?m kinda shy so no wonder why, Kristina she don?t know I exist.

Verse 2:
G C D G
From class to class, I followed her, but I swore I'd leave her undisturbed,
Em C D G
And if she?d ever stopped and turned around, I?d get so nervous that I?d stare at the ground.
G C D G
And then one day in photography, I found a contact print that I could not believe,
Em C D G
and there she was staring back at me, so I took her home so quietly.
Chorus:
G C D G
Kristina, Kristina, do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em C D G
So listen up cause I?ll tell ya once and I?ll explain myself the best that I can.
G C D G
Kristina, Kristina, you don?t know me so I'll have to persist, (whistle)
Em C D G
I?m kinda shy so no wonder why, Kristina she don?t know I exist.

Verse 3:
G C D G
1.17.98 has been a day that I?ve come to hate,
Em C D G
As I walked into the video store, there she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.
G C D G
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line, with a movie and another guy,
Em C D G
Why did I bother, why did I care, about this girl named Kristina Behr?
Chorus:
G C D G
Oh Kristina, Kristina, you'll never get to know who I am? (YOUR LOSS!)
Em C D G
This is goodbye, so please don't cry and i'll let you down as softly as I can.
G C D G
Kristina, Kristina, another name to cross off my list.
Em C D G
Another life, it coulda been nice, but Kristina, she don't know what she missed.
