Tell me how many times did you touch her handBefore you took her to the top of the UT TowerBefore you loaned her to your best friendBefore you dropped her againAnd started to see a shrinkI saw her shrink away from the roomGiggle and whisper, march right up and tell meShe loves my hairWell I cut it myselfA long time's passed, and I don't care where you've beenYou bought me maracas when I wanted a mandolinWe put a ping-pong table together on the second datePlayed doubles with your roommate and his daschund all night15-love, 30-love, 40-love, ace21, 19, Chinese gripI stayed up framing photos of the '55 Brooklyn DodgersMy tiny baby memory back to sleeping on the stepsOn the welcome mat, the time you never came backAfter Busch Light, Natural Light, Lone Star all nightA long time's passed, and I don't care where you've beenYou bought me maracas when I wanted a mandolinIt hasn't been so long since I turned 21You gave me your stepbrother's VCR 'cause you know I love moviesPlease don't play them for no onePlease take me out for enchiladas on the lake againShow me where you did it for the first time againWhile we share a beer in the carAnd you shush me when I try to sing along againIt's been so long since I turned 25You dropped in for a second, but I didn't mind that you came empty handedA long time's passed, and I don't care where you've beenYou bought me maracas when I wanted a mandolinWhat about all the times you tried on your clothes, I had to say what I thoughtI think I'll tell you right now--let the shower runAnd run and drink five cups of coffee and try to runShow me the way 'til you find the photosWay down all the way to your email and love songsI'll read them forever and pound my fist outA long time's passed, and I don't care where you've beenYou bought me maracas when I wanted a mandolin
