I know a boy who knows a girl and she is so in love

She wants him for he's all the things that she's been dreamin' of

She wants to share a kiss with him but he's too shy to dare

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair

Everytime she looks at him with eyes so big and blue

He always looks the other way and she don't know what to do

For he is such a perfect doll with blond and curly hair

But he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair

Soda pop and bubble gum she brings him by the score

Lots of candy kisses too he couldn't ask for more

But he's a rough-tough cowboy and for girls he just don't care

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair

[ steel ]

She always follows him around next door and back again

If she can't be his lady fair she'll be his indienne

Cause she just wants to be with him no matter when or where

For he's her great big hero and that's a sad affair

She's given up her paper dolls and now she totes a gun

Cause that's the way he likes to play so she pretends it's fun

For him she'd do most anything but he's so unaware

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair

When the rain comes pourin' down and they must be apart

It doesn't bother him at all but it almost breaks her heart

She's just content to tag along and hopes someday he'll care

But he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair
