[Verse 1]
D G
She was fifteen, quiet and lean
D G
Digging the music, making the scene
D
People would stare at her long golden hair
G D
My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]
Em Am
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
Em A
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
G D G
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]
G
She was so fine that after a time
G
I found myself hoping she would be mine
G
She spotted my plan, did not understand
D
She thought I was crazy holding her hand
[Chorus]
Em
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
A
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
G D G
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 3]
C G C
I called upon her mother, she told me "There's another"
D
"Why don't you just quit and go home?"
C
I thought for just a minute, I knew that I was in it
D
I said "I'll never go home alone"
[Interlude]
