lyrics

When I was young, I fell in love
So young and I fell so hard
I never kissed a girl before
Hell, I didn’t know where to start
Then I became a jealous wreck and acted insecure
I doubted her though I knew I would never find a girl as pure
She was a victim, full of trust, and I acted like a fool
So she fell out of love with me and I had to start anew.

Then once again I fell in love
Her locks were red like fire
“Come and get me” said her eyes
Man, she was a real live wire
But I hesitated, waited for her to pick up the phone
So it would come as no surprise when she said “leave me alone”
She was a wild cat, full of lust and I acted like a fool
So she fell out of love with me and I was left so blue.

Now in the spotlight, you walk in
But we’ve got to play it slow
I’ve never felt this way before
And I really want this to grow
I’m going to do some stupid things and we might dwell on the past
But that doesn’t mean we’ll give up on a friendship made to last
You’re such an angel full of life and I’m giddy like a fool
When I was young I thought I was in love
But now I’m in love with you.
