Maybe this time will be better,
maybe this time things will flow.
Did your friends say go and get her?
Well your friends what do they know?
Maybe I won’t have to leave the country,
maybe I won’t have to leave at all,
if you think that you might want me
maybe you’d be worth my fall.
Not like the one I met when I was only fifteen,
the one I met when we were both just drifting,
the one I dreamed of all through high school,
he dressed like a cowboy,
he talked like a damn fool.
The one I brought home to my mother,
the one I kissed and then I kissed his brother,
the one who tried to love me tenderly.
Could you be the one for me?
Baby, let’s not get too desperate.
Baby, let’s not wait too long.
I know we haven’t even kissed yet,
but how could this be wrong?
It can’t be wrong,
not like the one I tried too hard to hold on to,
the one I left although I didn’t want to,
the one who had a wife and baby,
how I loved that man,
my god he drove me crazy,
the one who carried all my school books,
who relied too much on his good looks,
the one who tried to be all he could be.
There was a guitar player and a drummer,
a boy who ruined my whole summer,
one who drank and ran around with every single girl in town,
there was one whose shell I never cracked thru,
and one I wish I could still go back to,
one who’s just a faded memory.
Could you be the one for me?
