AI saw her back in Dgrade school,
She was the Gprettiest girl I'd Dever seen,
And Atalkin' made me sound like a Ddamn fool,
And I Ghadn't quite kick that Dst-st-stutter
AI gave up on the Dwhole thing,
GThinkin' of the way, Dprayin' for the day,
AHopin' that the stars would a-Dlign,
And Gsomeday she be Dmine.

Well, Ahigh school finallDy rolled around,
GSo did my Dchance,
Just Akept my business under Done half minute,
When I Gasked her to go to the Ddance.
AShe said yes and when the Dnight was over,
GI had her in my Dhand,
That Apicture we took Dwith my arms wrapped around her,
By the Ggym concession Dstand.
[Chorus]
AmOh, before that night was over,
DI wrote a couple words,
CFirst chance I got, I snuck that Dpicture in her Cpu-Drse,
And it said Ahold me, Dfold me,
CSlip me in the pocket of your Gfavorite old blue jeans,
ABall me up and Dspin me clean,
CLeave me outside in the Gsunshine honey,
ARoll me, Dlose me Gunderneath a pile of your new things,
AForget you ever Dknew me then,
GCheck your pockets some day and Gfind me again.
AWo-oh... wo-oh.

With some Gfriends at the Kitchen DSink, eh...,

and Glook again to just be Dsure,
That Agirl I'd knew then Dcame back woman and

[Chorus]
AmBefore we left she pulled a Dnapkin from her shirt,
CIt had her number on it,
DUnderneath the Cwo-Drds...
