Even though he was obscene
He fell in love at just nineteen
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same
All his friends would gossip and say
That she would leave some day
But he liked to think, of things that could be
So naive at nineteen
He treated her like a great piece of gold
while she, thought that he too old
He claimed that love, didn't have an age
And when she denied him, all their friends became outraged
He just loved her, and showed her everyday
But when he said those three words, she just turned away
Although he was hurt, he claimed he loved her from the start
And promised her his heart
Even though he was obscene
He fell in love at just nineteen
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same
All his friends would gossip and say
That she would leave some day
But he liked to think, of things that could be
So naive at nineteen
He took her in his arms, and told her that this was right
And he said he felt it from the start, as he held her very tight
They were always together, since the day they met each other
But now she felt unsure
Then turned and looked him in the eye
As she said goodbye
Even though he was obscene
He fell in love at just nineteen
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same
All his friends would gossip and say
That she would leave some day
But he liked to think, of things that could be
So naive at nineteen
How he, felt so very bad after waiting, two whole years for her
Just to, see her leave with, some other guy, during the summer
He tried to accept, the fact that she was gone
And even though he really tried, it seemed he couldn't move along
He sent a note about how he felt, around Thanksgiving
And in the end he wrote "For you...anything..."
Even though he was obscene
He fell in love at just nineteen
with a younger girl who didn't feel the same
All his friends would gossip and say
That she would leave some day
But he liked to think, of things that could be
So naive at nineteen
