[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]
Fm A#m
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
Fm 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]

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"
