It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55
|
We were voted the couple most likely to survive
|
Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends
|
But your mama had some second thoughts back then
|
|
When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town
|
To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down
|
When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin
|
But your mama had some second thoughts again
|
|
Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
|
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
|
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
|
And that’s all I ever really wanted too.
|
|
Thanks to her she made me want to prove I could succeed
|
But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need
|
And If she reads the papers and remembers who I am
|
She's probably having seconds again
|
|
Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
|
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
|
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
|
And that’s all I ever really wanted too.
|
That’s all I ever really wanted too.
