lyrics
I ran home from school so fast I nearly fell down
I told my momma I met a girl on the playground
One word to me she never spoke
But we took turns using the Tarzan rope
I was in love…was in love…was in love…I thought so
It was love…it was love…it was love…I know so
Then I met a girl in grade school, she was pretty
She had eyes so piercing blue they made me dizzy
She never raised her hand in class
Even though she got the highest grades in math
I was in love…was in love…was in love…I thought so
It was love…it was love…it was love…I know so
Then I met my first Jewish girl in tenth grade
I told my dad that I met an exotic girl from a far off place
He told me she was the same as me
Although her family was probably more wealthy
I was in love…was in love…was in love…I thought so
It was love…it was love…it was love…I know so
Then I met a girl through a friend of mine named Jaimee
Who studied abroad in Spain with her friend Lonni
She bought me a slice of pizza and
She ordered it in Spanish from a Mexican
I was in love…was in love…was in love…I thought so
It was love…it was love…it was love…I know so
Then I met a girl I swear I knew my whole life
When I touched her hand it didn’t feel like the first time
My momma told me it was true:
“You spend you’re whole life finding what’s right for you”
So I put it in a song for my wedding day
I thought it was a good way to finally say
I’ve been in love…been in love…been in love…with you
Been in love…been in love...long before I even met you
I’ve been in love…been in love…with the idea of you
Imagine my surprise when I finally found you
