Jim Reeves - That's a Sad Affair lyrics

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...
