She was fifteen, quiet and lean

People would stare at her long golden hair

My baby's in black was the colour she'd wear
[Chorus]

When I first saw her, my heart did flips
G#m C#
Feel our first kiss still burning my lips
B F# B
Holding her near, year after year, my Southside girl
[Verse 2]

F#
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"
