[Verse 1]
G C
She was fifteen, quiet and lean
G C
Digging the music, making the scene
G
People would stare at her long golden hair
C G
My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]
Am Dm
When I first saw her, my heart did flips
Am D
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
C G C
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]

She spotted my plan, did not understand
G
She thought I was crazy holding her hand
[Chorus]

Feel our first kiss still burning my lips

Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl

I called upon her mother, she told me "There's another"
G
"Why don't you just quit and go home?"
