Every Girl Is Gonna Leave You

lyrics

"Every Girl is Gonna Leave You"

She was cryin' at the airport cause she didn't wanna go
She was cryin' in my arms when she come back home
She was cryin' when I told her what she'd already known
And now we don't speak and she don't cry much no more

My first great love she was a house on fire
We never knew how to make it but God knows we tried
Stayed on for the kid just a little too long
Til five years later she was ten years gone

You said
"Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet
Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet"

She was cussin' like a sailor by the dashboard light
Cause I hadn't said much but I must've said it right
We'd still go another round ever now and again
Til one day she quit callin' hope she's happy with him

You said
"Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet
Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet"

I loved her at a distance never so much as kissed
And I knew I'd never have her but I loved her no less
The kind to dance in traffic just to prove she's alive
Now she's sleepin' in the ground out offa 75

You said
"Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet
Settle down darlin'
Keep your head out your head
Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet"

Every girl is gonna leave you
But this one hasn't yet
