You were sixteen and I was all wired You were Venus di Milo inspired You convinced me that I was ok I convinced you that maybe you'd stay If I thought that you'd give up on me I'd have never said hello Girl you gotta know We grew up and you grew away But I'd follow you till my dying day All the guys that would try for your hand Couldn't steal you from this desperate man And this face that you see Well you know it ain't me With this lack of resolve and of will Like a dog that won't learn Visions you can't discern But you know me and you like me still 26 and I've grown enough I'm not better, but I won't give up You're still here like a flower in rain You get knocked down then you rise up again
