Valerie and Julie, put the game in play July the fourth and New Year's Eve, wrapped up on Christmas Day Terri made it dangerous, and Starri made me laugh And every one of them is with me, like a photograph Then life moved on and everybody went their separate way Their memories forever in my mind And every now and then I think of you and how it felt To leave peppermint and innocence behind Jenny came from nowhere, but it wasn't a surprise But Kerri left a combination smiling in disguise Rebecca had a boyfriend, or so she didn't say But when he left for summer Aphrodite came to play Then life moved on and everybody went their separate way Their memories forever in my mind And every now and then I think of you and how it felt To leave peppermint and innocence behind Two o'clock with Paris, then three and four and five Never a better birthday gift made me feel so alive Then Jackie had a special way of driving me insane But every time she smiled I just about forgot my name Then life moved on and everybody went their separate way Their memories forever in my mind And every now and then I think of you and how it felt To leave peppermint and innocence behind Peppermint and innocence behind Peppermint and innocence behind Peppermint and innocence behind Peppermint and innocence behind Peppermint and innocence behind
