Sk8er Boi lyrics:

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her
She'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each others world

I'm with the skater boy
I said, "see you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy
I said, "see you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Avril Lavigne official bio:

Avril Lavigne is a Grammy nominated, global recording superstar who has sold over 40 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. Among countless accolades, she garnered eight Grammy Award nominations and took home eight Juno Awards. She stands out as “one of the Soundscan-era’s top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S.” and “third best-selling Canadian female artist of all-time." Billboard placed her in the Top 10 of its "Best of the 2000s" chart. Lavigne also set the Guinness World Record as "the youngest female solo artist to top the UK chart" and made history with "Girlfriend"—which became the "first music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube."

Outside of music, she gives back at every turn via The Avril Lavigne Foundation. Since its inception in 2010, The Avril Lavigne Foundation, Avril and her fans around the world have been impacting lives for the better. The Avril Lavigne Foundation supports people with Lyme Disease, serious illness or disabilities. Through programs and grants, it provides prevention resources, funds treatment and accelerates research in order to provide hope and transform lives.

In 2018, she released her first new music in 5 years with the gut-wrenching single “Head Above Water”, which details the personal side of Avril’s journey through her widely reported battle with Lyme Disease. Vogue Magazine praised the track as “a fierce piano ballad that documents a culminating moment in Lavigne’s years-long struggle with Lyme disease.” Her highly anticipated sixth studio album and debut for BMG, Head Above Water, was released on February 15, 2019.
