That's A Sad Affair
I know a boy who knows a girl
And she is so in love
She wants him for he's all the things
That she's been dreamin' of.
She wants to share a kiss with him
But he's too shy to dare
For he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
Everytime she looks at him
With eyes so big and blue
He always looks the other way
And she don't know what to do.
For he is such a perfect doll
With blond and curly hair
But he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
Soda pop and bubble gum
She brings him by the score
Lots of candy kisses too
He couldn't ask for more.
But he's a rough-tough cowboy
And for girls he just don't care
For he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
--- Instrumental ---
She always follows him around
Next door and back again
If she can't be his lady fair
She'll be his indienne.
'Cause she just wants to be with him
No matter when or where
For he's her great big hero
And that's a sad affair.
She's given up her paper dolls
And now she totes a gun
'Cause that's the way he likes to play
So she pretends it's fun.
For him she'd do most anything
But he's so unaware
Four he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
When the rain comes pourin' down
And they must be apart
It doesn't bother him at all
But it almost breaks her heart.
She's just content to tag along
And hopes someday he'll care
But he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair...
And she is so in love
She wants him for he's all the things
That she's been dreamin' of.
She wants to share a kiss with him
But he's too shy to dare
For he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
Everytime she looks at him
With eyes so big and blue
He always looks the other way
And she don't know what to do.
For he is such a perfect doll
With blond and curly hair
But he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.
Soda pop and bubble gum
She brings him by the score
Lots of candy kisses too
He couldn't ask for more.
But he's a rough-tough cowboy
And for girls he just don't care
For he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair.

'Cause that's the way he likes to play
So she pretends it's fun.

She's just content to tag along
And hopes someday he'll care
But he's just four and she's just three
And that's a sad affair...
