colleen (i saw him first)-amanda marshall

Let me tell you about colleen / my best friend since i was three
She always had a taste for dangerous things / her scandalous tongue was extreme
I was always the one left holding the bag / smiling and covering her tracks
Best friends, they always do that / she was the first one to smoke a cigarette
She once let me watch her make love / it was the kind of balance made by kings
She took it all, but left me some / i guess i always thought that she'd have my
Back
But it didn't work out like that / the moment i laid eyes on jack

Chorus
It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face
Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, i saw him first

It all happened on a thursday / he backed his car right into mine
"there are no accidents", my mother told me once / my heart agreed with her
This time
Colleen jumped out of the car, screaming / "what have you done?!
Jack offered apologies / i just got weak in the knees

Chorus
It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face
Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, i saw him first

The minute that you're in it / you know there's no turning back
Like me and my jack / a funny thing
To feel the weight of the pendulum swing / when it starts to swing
Colleen, armed with charm and body / still couldn't take my man
Last i heard, she was in rehab / i guess that scale got outta hand
Covered from head to toe in coloured tattoos / searching for higher views /
Hungry for i love you's

Chorus
It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face
Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, i saw him first

Colleen, i saw him first

intro

Alalalalalalala ohhhh ohh yeah

Verse
You walk up to me and say
"feel like i know you baby"
And then take a sip of your cherry coke now
Now who drinks a cherry coke?
Maybe you're nervous, i see that bead of sweat
Dancin' on your cheek
Your words are like cheap champagne
I get the point but it's much too sweet

I'm so tired of the dance
This carousel of superficial conversation
Gets me nowhere...

Chorus
So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain't the picture it's just a part
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my eyes, don't see what i see
Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me
It's the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
Yeah everybody's got a story that could break your heart

Lalala lalana nanana nana na naaa

Verse
Now who can read the mind
Of the red-headed girl next door (mm)
Or the taxi driver who just dropped you off or the
Or the classmate that you ignore
Don't assume everything on the surface is what you see
'cause that classmate just lost her mother
And that taxi-driver's got a ph.d

I'm so tired of the fear that
Weighs us down with wrong assumptions
Of broken hearts and natural function

Chorus
So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain't the picture it's just a part
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my eyes, don't see what i see
Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me
It's the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain't the picture it's just a part
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart (your heart)

Solo
Lalalala lalala ladada da da da

Bridge
So dig deep (dig deep)
Deeper than the image that you see (dig deep)
Lift the vail and let your true self breathe (dig deep)
And show the world the beauty underneath

Chorus
See my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain't the picture, it's just a part
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my eyes, don't see what i see
Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me
It's the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain't the picture, it's just a part
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

See my eyes, don't see what i see
Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me
It's the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody's got a story that could break your heart

Outro
That could break your heart baby
Everybody's got a story, oh yeah
Lalala nanana lala nanana
Lalala nanana nanana....
