Scarlett Leigh

So the first time I saw that freckle face we were both around six
We started a war between us that only time could fix
I said that you was ugly as sin it looked like you was going to cry
Instead you threw a wicked punch
That caught me right in the eye
To me it was a terrible thing to get beat up by a girl
And I wondered how a redheaded fireball crashed into my world
So on the first day of second grade I handed you a note
And I watched the smile disappeared from your face
When you read what I wrote

Scarlett Leigh you're a site to see
That curly red hair and those Bugs Bunny teeth
Keep that freckle face away from me
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh

The rest of my middle school days I was sorry for what I done
But you had nothing to do with me and I was the lonely one
You got your braces on in junior high and I recalled what I said
But by the time we got to high school girl you was knocking them dead

Scarlett Leigh won't you listen to me
I ain't that mean little kid that I used to be
Please accept my apology
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh

Well the ripple effect of what I said
Stuck with me for a long long time
The stereotype I had in my head
Was playing tricks on my mind
I should have asked you out a million times
A million times plus one
But I was still that little boy feeling guilty about what I done

High school graduation no celebration you married on that day
I was cursing myself up and down for letting you slip away
A few years later I heard that you were divorced and once again you were free
Well the first thing I done was make a beeline for that redhead Scarlett Leigh

Scarlett Leigh won't you marry me
Don't you know you're all I'll ever need
That freckle face is all I wanna see
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh

Scarlett Leigh said yes and married me
Don't you know you're all I need
That freckle face is all I wanna see
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh
There ain't never gonna be another girl like Scarlett Leigh
