We Never Went Out For That Pizza

By Bruce Clifford

We never went out for that pizza.
You were my secret back in high school.
Nobody knew what would happen after.
I was the one left looking like a fool.

We never went out to the beaches.
No chaperone to cover your back.
Most kids didn’t know where I was going.
I left no footprints that could ever be tracked.

We never went out for that pizza.
I always knew you were one of a kind.
You were my innocence in yesterday's lyrics.
Seems as though I never left those days very far behind.

We never went back to where this all started.
I’ve only done so in my songs.
Do you remember when we had a common laughter?
There was never another place where I felt I belonged.

We never went out for that pizza.
You were my secret back in high school.
You left me hanging for many decades.
I was the one left looking like a fool.
