Colleen ( I Saw Him First ) Lyrics

colleen (i saw him first)-amanda marshall

 

 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 one 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 that 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

 "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

 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

 

 The minute that you're 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 my man

 Last i heard, she was in rehab / i guess that scale got outta hand

 Covered from head to toe in coloured tattoos / searching for higher views /

 Hungry for i love you's

 

 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

 

 Colleen, i saw him first
