ONCE I KNEW A GIRL WHEN I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN
SHE WAS QUITE A LADY THEN BUT I WAS SO GREEN
TOOK HER TO A MOVIE SO WE COULD SEE A SHOW
THINGS TURNED OUT SO DIFFERENT CAUSE I JUST DID'NT KNOW
THEN WHEN I WAS TWENTY I WHENT OUT ON A DATE
WITH A GIRL FROM COLLEGE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT
I TOOK HER OUT TO DINNER AND A PLACE WE COULD DANCE
THINGS TURNED OUT SO DIFFERNT WHEN SHE GAVE ME THAT GLANCE
NOW THAT I AM MARRIED I STAY HOME EVERY NIGHT
I THOUGHT I'D BE HAPPY AND WE WOULD NEVER FIGHT
I'D BUY A LITTLE HOUSE WHERE WE COULD HAVE FUN AND SING
THINGS TURNED OUT SO DIFFERENT WHEN I GAVE HER THAT RING
