Amanda Marshall - COLLEEN (I SAW HIM FIRST) lyrics

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 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 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 (crash, boom, bang!)

"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

The minute that your 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 away my man

Last I heard, She was in rehab

I guess that scale got outta hand

Covered from head to toe in colored tatoos

Searching for higher views

Hungry for I love you's

CHORUS

Colleen I saw him first
