href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_W.K.">Andrew WK</a> was 17 he was a little obsessed with a girl at his school and wrote a song for her as a class project. When she heard the song a year later, she quickly sought a restraining order.</p><p>From <a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/apr/07/andrew-wk-juvenile-restraining-order">The Guardian</a>:</p><blockquote><p>In the end, I had a juvenile restraining order put on me, which lasted until I was 21. I&#8217;ve never told anyone about it since, except my closest friends and family. Three months ago, I was advised by my personal manager and life coach to finally let people hear it, to resolve the nightmare. So, I am. Now is the first time since the incident that I&#8217;ve let anyone hear the song. And I can hear why.</p></blockquote><p>Listen to the song below</p><p>Here are the lyrics:</p><blockquote><p>Called Up Your Number Fourteen Times<br
/> To See If You Were Home<br
/> Home Is Where I&#8217;ll Find You<br
/> When I Find You</p><p>Do You Feel Lonely When You&#8217;re Alone<br
/> A Sheet To Keep You Warm<br
/> Warm – Electric Blanket<br
/> An Extra Blanket</p><p>You Are My Destiny<br
/> I&#8217;ll Make You Fall In Love With Me<br
/> I&#8217;ll Make Myself Your Fantasy<br
/> Weeping Like The Willow Tree</p><p>Drove Past Your Doorway Fifteen Times<br
/> I Don&#8217;t Want To Cause You Harm<br
/> Harm – That&#8217;s What You&#8217;re In For<br
/> If You Don&#8217;t Open Your Door</p><p>So I&#8217;ll Keep Knocking A Million Times<br
/> I Will Knock Until My Knuckles Bleed<br
/> Bleed – That Blood Will Leave A Stain<br
/> On You Forever</p><p>You Are My Destiny<br
/> And I&#8217;ll Make You Fall In Love With Me, Me, Me</p></blockquote><p>[<a
