Centerfold -- J. Geils Band

Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat  She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel Could never cause me pain  Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine  And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

My blood runs cold  My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes  Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee Is really just too much

It's okay I understand This ain't no never-never land I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on  Take you car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it  We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped  , I can't deny it  , I guess I gotta buy it!

This song is about a guy who had a crush on a sweet, innocent girl in his homeroom in high school. Years later, he's looking through a girly magazine and sees his homeroom crush as the centerfold.                      (songfacts)
