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