Well, I was walking down the street, yeah.
When I met a little girl, yeah.
I said, 'I think I like you'.
She said 'I think I like you better'.

She begged me to meet her parents;
I was quite apprehensive,
But then I did comply her,
I should have denied her.

She wanted me to stay,
But I had to walk away.
She wanted me to stay,
But I had to walk away...

Don't you stay forever,
I may not be here til the end.
If we're not together,
At least we could still be friends.

I met her in the kitchen,
The dinner she was fixin'.
Her father did not like me,
He scowled just to spite me.

We sat down at the table,
I passed the salt and pepper.
She didn't pass the mustard,
But instead I spilled my drink.

She wanted me to stay,
But I had to run away.
She wanted me to stay,
But I had to run away...

I saw her three months later,
She had a brand new friend.
He tried to educate her
On all the latest trends.

I said 'I am so sorry'.
She did not understand.
You changed life for the better,
She tried to make a stand.

I wanted him to stay,
But instead he walked away.
I wanted him to stay,
But instead he walked away.

Don't you stay forever,
I may not be here til the end.
If we're not together,
At least we could still be friends.

She wrote me a long letter,
She had a brand new reason.
Just after I had left her,
She was thrown in prison.

If I had not left her,
We'd still be together.
She still regrets the day
I decided not to stay.

She still regrets the day
I decided not to stay.
She still regrets the day
That I turned and walked away...
