I walk into kroger with a grin
My friend buys peach soda and rootbeer
to sell to his high school friends
he says, “Bob can you find me a lady-friend,
i aint had one in quite some time
and i miss it so much
and I wish it wernt so
but I don't got no one to show
At kroger i get a can of nectar
and a pineapple soda to boot
sometimes a chocolate kiss
when I wish for a real one tonight
Now theres a girl over there see her stare
I wish i could gaze into her eyes
but i cant cuz i wont cuz its not allowed
cuz thats for the strength of youth
She says, “Bob i wanna be your lady friend”
and then I wake up and see
well im sure that next time it’ll be real
and then well see who id rather be
Now carleighs a really pretty one
who thinks shes intimidating
And shes talking to Marlie, who is guarded by Dallin,
and probably will be for life
and im thinkin about breaking the youth rules
as i look on ebay for a prize
yes something i see catches my eye
that is definitely for her
At kroger i get a can of nectar
and a pineapple soda to boot
sometimes a choco-late kiss
when I wish for a real one tonight
I plan to get a real one on Saturday
or a least a hug and a smile
Cuz she knows that its me that gave her the stone
attached to a thin silver chain
And the two in the back don't hide their passion
and the jealousy comes sweeping in
not for her but for what they have
love someone gives you for free
At kroger i get a can of nectar
and a pineapple soda to boot
sometimes a chocolate kiss
when I wish for a real one tonight
