She was fifteen, quiet and lean
C F
Digging the music, making the scene

People would stare at her long golden hair
F C
My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
When I first saw her, my heart did flips

Feel our first kiss still burning my lips

Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]

C
She thought I was crazy holding her hand

Feel our first kiss still burning my lips

Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
