Scarlett Leigh Lyrics

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
