Robert aka mike

Motley High tournament, the echoes in the gym

I was in the eighth grade, just looking at him

You were in the ninth, playing the exact same position

But we were on different sides, a teenage competition

You sent my teammate over, just to say my name

And right then and there, you changed the whole game

All I remember is your afro and that bright, sweet smile

When you sent word you had a crush, I said "okay" like a child.

Oh Robert, my Mike, my high school sweetheart

You wrote me fourteen pages just to open up your heart

I wore your letter jacket, if only for a while

Felt my very first kiss inside your gentle smile

Now I want to write the words to show what we can be

I'm ready to play on the same team for life, just you and me.

We walked the same halls, boyfriend and girlfriend now

Hardworking and honest, you always made me proud

I remember the butterflies waking up inside my chest

I was so afraid of the feeling, my heart put to the test

But your good sense of humor always chased away the blue

A dedicated, loving man, compassionate and true

You were loyal and kind, keeping me safe from the start

Leaving a permanent mark on a young girl's heart.

Oh Robert, my Mike, my high school sweetheart

You wrote me fourteen pages just to open up your heart

I wore your letter jacket, if only for a while

Felt my very first kiss inside your gentle smile

Now I want to write the words to show what we can be

I'm ready to play on the same team for life, just you and me.

I read that if you love something, you have to set it free

And if it comes back around, it was always meant to be

So here I am, running back with my arms open wide

No more playing on different courts, I'm stepping to your side

It's my turn to write a love letter, to put it on the line

To show you that this time around, our stars are gonna align.

Oh Robert, my Mike, my high school sweetheart

You wrote me fourteen pages just to open up your heart

I wore your letter jacket, if only for a while

Felt my very first kiss inside your gentle smile

Now I want to write the words to show what we can be

I'm ready to play on the same team for life, just you and me.

Yeah, the same team for life, just you and me.
