(ニーナ)
This is my street
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life
They regard me with pride
And Everyone's sweet
They say "You're going places!"
So how can I say that
While I was away
I had so much to hide!
Hey Guys, it's me!
The biggest disappointment you know
The kid couldn't hack it
She's back and she's walking real slow
(ニーナ)
They are all counting on me to succeed
I am the one who made it out!
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should have just stayed home...
Straighten the spine
Smile for the neighbors
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
The standard reply
"Lots of tests, lots of papers"
Smile ,wave goodbye
And pray to the sky, oh God...
And what will my parents say?
