Well I was walkin' down the street yeah, when I met a little girl yeah,
I said I think I like you, she said I think I like you better.
She bid me meet her parents, I was quite apprehensive.
But then I did comply her, I shoulda have denied her.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to walk away.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to walk away.
Don't you say forever I may not be here 'til the end.
If we're not together, at least we could still be friends.
I met her in the kitchen, the dinner she was fixing,
Her father did not like me, he scowled just to spite me.
We sat down at the table, I passed the salt and pepper,
She bid me pass the mustard, but instead I spilled my drink.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to run away.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to run away.
I saw her 3 months later, she had a brand new friend,
He tried to educate her on all the latest trends.
I said I am so sorry she did not understand,
You've changed life for the better, she tried to make a stand.
I wanted you to stay, but instead you ran away.
I wanted you to stay, but instead you walked away.
Don't you say forever I may not be here 'til the end.
If we're not together, at least we could still be friends.
She wrote me a long letter, she had a brand new reason,
Just after I had left her, she was thrown in prison.
If I had not left her we'd still be together,
She still regrets the day I decided not to say.
She still regrets the day I decided not to stay,
She still regrets the day that I turned and walked away.
