Her name was Gaby and she gave me a kiss
while we were waiting to cross the street
I thought: what kind of luck is this?
And it felt so sweet
Did it mean we belonged together?
I proposed right there on the spot:
“Let’s stay together forever and ever!”
She clearly thought not.
Too soon, too late
that has been my style
I miss by just a little
every once in a while
Too soon, too late
what else can I say
I nearly had the right words
on the wrong day
Natalie lived around the corner
her Volkswagen Beetle was green
I was in love with her for three whole years
that’s a long time when you are eighteen.
When she left, I was heartbroken
Later, when we met, she said:
“I liked you very much back then
but you never used your head.”
