First Verse Lyrics:

She talks with her three friends, "That boy will never make amends,
too intense, too insecure, and immature."
Once he blessed all this small town,
although it now seems like a cage.
That which once seemed so convenient,
has gotten to be so hard.

Lyrics:

About last night, you must be advised.
I've got so many things upon my mind.
You took me by suprise when you began to cry.
I know I kissed you then but I don't mean it now.


Verse 2: same as first

Lyrics:

She once claimed that pound for pound,
that her hair was worth more than gold.
Loves to touch it more than him,
she could not stand to have it sold.
Man (?) he feels so overwhelmed,
that boy is sure to lose his head.
Did I say how smart you look?
Three times, three times she said.

Bridge "solo"

Part 1 plays w/distortion

While Part 2 plays a thumping back-beat part underneath part 1.
Listen closely to the record to pick this out for the timing.

Verse 3: same as first again

Lyrics:

He could not stay off the phone,
although he nailed hand underneath.
Could not leave his room below,
chose not to let her be.
Man he feels so overwhelmed,
that boy is sure to lose his head.
Did I say how smart you look?
Three times, three times she said.

Chorus: same as the others but this time end on F#

End.


This song's pretty long but it's just a lot of parts repeated over
and over. Simple, yet good. I never made a note of how many repetitions
are needed for each part but it's easy, just listen to the CD, or the
"cassette"  <-- they used these in the "olden days"
Times.... they are a-changin'
