Brenda

'66 I wrote 'bout Brenda Girl in class I was quite into Could not believe upon that day She passed me a V-Card to say "You're cute, I like you, it is true, I have the same feelings for you." My heart it leapt a mile high I thought for sure that I would die I took her hand, looked in her eyes I swore through unassuming cries "I will be true, so true to you" She swore the same and we were two. The days we filled with blossomed zeal "I can't believe the way I feel" I told her o'er and o'er again That we would last right to the end. But for that end it came too soon. My love for her, one afternoon Came to an end, as I saw foul Another boy had kissed my gal I walked myself right up to him And then my fist contacted chin A fight for her was not my goal But rage filled my embattled soul. He swung right back, and on the ground It was myself that I had found. This quick maneuver I had made Turns out it was not so well-played I offered up my hand in peace And gave her up, that sad release Brenda was lost, but in the end I also think I lost a friend
