Lyrics
We walked hand in hand to the news stand
A SPIN for me and a Sassy for you
Should have known that we'd never get far
In the back of your old blue car
The doors didn't even open from the inside
How could I ever leave you that way?
We sat and talked about God by the riverside
You told the truth and I assume you assume
That I lied
And as you held my hand could you understand?
I don't think you ever really tried
How could I ever leave you that way?
So flattered and confused
I didn't think you thought that much about me
Because I was too busy thinking about you
So flattered and confused
I didn't think you thought that much about me
Cause I was too busy thinking about you
You told me about your trip to Florida
With your ex-boyfriend at the time
And since I wasn't there to see you swimming in your underwear
I guess the image will have to get me by
Repeat chorus
