Gord Downie - My First Girlfriend lyrics
[Gord Downie - My First Girlfriend lyrics]
You were barely interested in me
I watched your every move
Your sophistication
Your sadness and your certitude
You read books all the time
And made me wanna read books over my head
You were the most beautiful
Girl I'd ever seen so smart and funny
Six years older
You had long blonde hair to your waist
And you didn't give a damn
You saved me from drowning once
You were standing at the ladder
Water up to your chest
I started slipping down the slope
Couldn't get to the surface
I caught with my index finger
The string of your bikini you were
You were the most beautiful
Girl I'd ever seen so smart and funny
Six years older
You had long blonde hair to your waist
And you didn't give a damn
What your mother said
You left for good as soon as you could
I never forgot you
Nor would I ever forget you
My first girlfriend
My first girlfriend (My first girlfriend)
My first girlfriend (My first girlfriend)
My index finger your bikini
You pulled me up 'cause you were angry
To the surface, I'd just breathed
You told me off as you pulled up your bikini
