They met at school, that's how it goes

Some drinks and then a rose

He kneeled on both knees

Some years went by they had a child
F

Some nights his dreams would drive him wild

So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]

One night he couldn't get to bed

But I hope now you can see

What my mom and dad showed me

I'm not going anywhere
