It's about having a crush on someone and trying to get an opportunity to speak to them
Story behind the song
Apart from the boy fancying girl subject matter there's also a little nod to the Beatles in the title.
Lyrics
Toppermost
I saw you walking out today
Once again you came my way
Never a chance to say hello
No time to speak, it’s time to go
I’ve got to do it
Put myself through it
But it’s so hard to do with people around
But it’s got to be done
You are my number one
You are the toppermost for me
Every time you walk by
I always try and catch your eye
A glance from you would make my day
A night with you is what I pray
But what if you say no
What if you say just go
When I ask you to be my girl
But it’s got to be done
You are my number one
You are the toppermost for me
Have I got the nerve?
I know it’s more than I deserve
Now you are oh so near
I’ve got to overcome this fear
I’ve got to do it
Put myself through it
But it’s so hard to do with people around
But it’s got to be done
You are my number one
You are the toppermost for me
You are the toppermost for me
You are the toppermost
Number one poppermost
You are the toppermost for me
