she said, i was seven and y0u were nine
i l00ked at y0u like the stars that shined
in the sky, the pretty lights
and 0ur daddies used t0 j0ke ab0ut the tw0 0f us
gr0wing up and falling in l0ve and 0ur mamas smiled
and r0lled their eyes and said 0h my, my, my
take me back t0 the h0use in the backyard tree
said y0u'd beat me up, y0u were bigger than me
y0u never did, y0u never did
take me back t0 when 0ur w0rld was 0ne bl0ck wide
i dared y0u t0 kiss me and ran when y0u tried
just tw0 kids, y0u and i
0h my, my, my, my
well, i was sixteen when suddenly
i wasn't that little girl y0u used t0 see
but y0ur eyes still shined like pretty lights
and 0ur daddies used t0 j0ked ab0ut the tw0 0f us
they never believed we'd really fall in l0ve
and 0ur mamas smiled and r0lled their eyes
and said 0h my, my, my
take me back t0 the creek beds we turned up
2am riding in y0ur truck and all i need is y0u next t0 me
take me back t0 the time we had 0ur very first fight
the slamming 0f d00rs instead 0f kissing g00dnight
y0u stayed 0utside till the m0rning light
0h my, my, my, my
a few years had g0ne and c0me ar0und
we were sitting at 0ur fav0urite sp0t in t0wn
and y0u l00ked at me, g0t d0wn 0n 0ne knee
take me back t0 the time we walk d0wn the aisle
0ur wh0le t0wn came and 0ur mamas cried
y0u said i d0 and i did t00
take me h0me where we met s0 many years bef0re
we'll r0ck 0ur babies 0n that very fr0nt p0rch
after all this time, y0u and i
i'll be eighty-seven, y0u'll be eighty-nine
i still l00k at y0u like the stars that shine
in the sky, 0h my, my, my
