FROM A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE
by Tim R. Holifield


I MET A GIRL LAST YEAR IN SCHOOL
DATED HER FOR A MONTH OR TWO
THEN I BROKE THE MAN RULE
WHEN I TOLD HER “I LOVE YOU!”

MY LOVE GREW LIKE I KNEW IT WOULD
WENT ON AND ON LIKE I THOUGHT IT SHOULD
SHE WAS MY QUEEN FOREVERMORE
AND I WANTED TO BE HER KING
SO I WENT TO THE JEWELRY STORE
AND BOUGHT HER A LITTLE DIAMOND RING

I MET A GIRL LAST YEAR IN SCHOOL
FELL IN LOVE LIKE STUPID DAMN FOOL
I BOUGHT A RING FOR MY QUEEN
THEN SHE ACTED LIKE IT CAME
FROM A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE

NEEDLESS TO SAY
IT WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH
SO THAT WAS THE END
OF MY FIRST LOVE

SO A LITTLE WHILE LATER IN MY LIFE
I FINALLY MET A GIRL TO BE MY WIFE
WE DATED FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE
EVERY TIME I SAW HER SMILE
IT WOULD DO SOMETHING TO MY HEART
IT GOT WHERE I DIDN’T WANNA BE APART
SO I DECIDE I COULDN’T WAIT NO MORE
SO I WENT TO THE JEWLRY STORE
I WANTED A RING FOR MY QUEEN

I SAID TO BE OR NOT TO BE
THIS IS WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
SHE SAID I WILL SAY I DO
I DO LOVE YOU TOO
SHE DIDN’T EVEN CARE IF IT
CAME FROM A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE


I MET A GIRL AND FELL IN LOVE
SHE’S JUST WHAT I WAS THINKIN’ OF
OUR LOVE GREW MORE AND MORE
I COULDN’T AFFORD THE JEWLRY STORE
BUT I GOT A RING FOR MY QUEEN
EVEN IF IT CAME FROM A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE
