Verse 2

I never asked, she never said

And when she cried I turned my head

She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors

Now all I have to show

Or would she walk out the door?

The cold facts and nothin' more

Chorus

Chorus 2

Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, sixy four

she was born, in Batton Rouge,

Her father's tall, her mother's gone,

She moved out when she was two,

The way she laughed, the way she loved,

Oh my God what did I do?
