Song From the Early '90's About a Girl and a Sweater?!
Question: Song From the Early '90's About a Girl and a Sweater!?
There was a song on the radio in the early 90's about a girl that gets a sweater from a guy and wears it to school only to have it turn out that she kinda stole the sweater and another girl tells her he wants it back!. It played on the radio in the early 90's!. I never knew the name or who did it other than it was a spoken word song done by a female!. It has been driving me crazy for years that I can't find this song!. Anytime I do a search for it I come up with Weezer's Sweater Song and that's not it!. Any ideas!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's called "The Sweater" by Meryn Cadell
(lyrics are spoken)
Girls,
I know you will understand this
and feel the intrinsic incredible emotion
You have just pulled over your head the worn,
warm sweater belonging to a boy
Now, you haven't had a passionate
kissing session or anything,
but you got to go on a camping trip with him
and eight other people from school
And you practically slept together,
your sleeping bag right next to his
And you woke in the night to watch him as he slept
but you couldn't see anything 'cause it was dark
so you just laid there and listened to his breathing
and wondered if your heart might burst
The sweater has that faintly goat-like smell
which all teenage boys possess,
and that smell will lovingly transfer
to all your other clothes
If you get to keep it for a few
days you can sleep with it
but don't let your mom see, 'cause she'll say,
"what is that filthy thing, and who does it belong to
besides the trash man!?"
So you have to keep it under the covers with you
You can kind of lie it beside you,
or wrap it around your waist,
or touch it on your legs, or whatever
That's your business
Now if the sweater has, like, reindeer on it
or is a funny color like yellow!.!.!. I'm sorry,
you can't get away with a sweater like that
Look for brown, or grey, or blue
Anything other than that, and you

know you're dealing with
someone who's different
And different is NOT what you're looking for
You're looking for those Teenage Alpine ski-chiseled features
and that sort of blank look which
passes for deep thought
or at least the notion that someone's home
You're looking for the boy of your dreams
who is the same boy in the dreams of all your friends!.
Now the sweater isn't going to fit you of course,
you kind of have to roll up the sleeves in a jaunty way that says
this is the sweater belonging to a boy,
and the boy is a genuine hunka hunka burning love,
and this is not just some hand me down from your brother or your father
Monday, wear the sweater
to school
Be calm, look cute
Don't tell him about the dream you had
about the place the two of you would share
when you get older
Just be yourself
The best, cutest, quietest version of yourself
Definitely wear lip gloss
He looks at you, and then he looks away
And then he walks away
and the smell of the sweater hits you again suddenly
like ape-scent gloriola
and you get a note passed to you
by a girl in History that says
"He needs that sweater back!.
He forgot you put it on in the tent on Saturday
and he's been looking for it!."
And you don't have to die of humiliation,
You are a strong person
and this is a learning experience
You can still hold your head up high as
you run from the classroom
tearing the stinking sweater from your body!.
You look at that sweater, carefully,
and you realize that love made you temporarily blind!.
You've got a secret now, honey,
and though you'd never sink as low as him,
you could blab it all over the school if you wanted
