Lyrics

(Verse 1)
There’s a guy named Roland, just twelve years old,
Seventh grade dance, feeling kinda bold.
Got his crew by his side, laughing all night,
But his heart’s on Anna, yeah, she’s shining so bright.

(Pre-Chorus)
Told his friend, “Man, I really like her a lot,”
Next thing you know, she already got the plot.
Now she’s looking over, he’s frozen in place,
Heart beating fast, can’t keep up the pace.

(Chorus)
Oh no, he’s stuck in the friend zone,
Tried to play it cool, but he should’ve stayed home.
Acting kinda weird, now she thinks he’s a fool,
Seventh grade love never follows the rules.

(Verse 2)
Roland walks over, tries to say hey,
But his words get jumbled, don’t come out the right way.
Anna just laughs, says, “You’re kinda strange,”
Now he’s in his head, man, this feeling is pain.

(Pre-Chorus)
Should’ve kept it chill, should’ve played it smooth,
Now she thinks he’s childish, nothing he can do.
Back to the squad, tryna shake it off,
But deep down inside, man, this really sucks.

(Chorus)
Oh no, he’s stuck in the friend zone,
Tried to play it cool, but he should’ve stayed home.
Acting kinda weird, now she thinks he’s a fool,
Seventh grade love never follows the rules.

(Bridge)
Maybe one day, he’ll get it right,
Grow a little older, learn to talk right.
But for now, he’ll dance, shake it off, have fun,
There’s always next year—he’s still young.

(Outro)
There’s a guy named Roland, just twelve years old,
Seventh grade dance, feeling kinda bold.
Didn’t get the girl, but he learned something new,
Next time around, he’ll know what to do.
