Amanda Marshall - Colleen (I Saw Him First) lyrics

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 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 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 (crash, boom, bang!) "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] The minute that your 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 away my man Last I heard, She was in rehab I guess that scale got outta hand Covered from head to toe in colored tatoos Searching for higher views Hungry for I love you's [CHORUS] Colleen I saw him first
