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
