I was wrong about Susan
But weren't we all at seventeen?
My young layman's heart was sure
she was the bonniest girl he'd seen,
But came the tall tales and a little self-harm,
I nearly got arrested and I got into a fight.
I was wrong about her
but now I know I'm right
And I was wrong when i told Lyn
I thought our love would never end,
There was danger in her kiss
as I stole her from my friend
but we got bored once the danger burned out,
then she was stolen from me, too
Yes, i was wrong about her
but I'm right about you.
And then of course, there's Laura,
and where do I begin?
She was a good mate with a heart,
In truth, I knew i'd never win.
We both did things we knew we shouldn't do,
and I think I lost a pretty good friend.
I was wrong about her,
But there my mistakes end
Because I know I am right about you
And all the promises we've pledged are good and true.
Don't ask me how I Know, how I can be so sure,
it's your smile, your sigh, your kiss that hint that our love will endure
And I was wrong about romance,
I was cynical at best,
I deemed fidelity absurd,
I thought my soul could never rest
But you ignored me a the barbecue
And we were living with each other before long.
I thought love was a lie,
But you have proved me wrong.
