| Amanda Marie |
| Listen to my tale A tale of the sweetest girl to be With eyes of the purest blue And the tender name Amanda Marie At a time we were together And everything was as right as it could be Then she whispered in my ear The secret that she loved me I met her dad and everything was well As far as I could see But suddenly he changed his mind And forbade her to speak to me Soon after she moved away Farther than the eye can see But where she lives now there is a phone And we can talk secretly Despite the odds we carried on For a little over the year of three Sooner or later she turned eighteen And we could meet legally My friends would always give advice Words I didn�t want to believe They told me I was wasting my time And that she would eventually cheat on me Maybe we didn�t have enough in common Or I guess it just wasn�t meant to be One of my friends hung around too much So I�ll let you guess who she used to replace me I could let my emotions run wild Which would eventually drive me crazy But why should I do that When Jacksonville girls are so cheap and easy |
