She seemed so warm and willing right in the palm of my hand
G7 C
Now its three months ago last Wednesday since I woke up in her bed
G7 C
Lord I think I love her but it scares me half to death

Now she's feeling sick in the morning
G7 C
She can't get into her jeans
I spent my last ten dollars
G7 C
And bought her a second hand ring
I start to work next Monday

But that's all changing now
