My First Girlfriend Songtext
von Gord Downie

My first girlfriend you were, barely interested in me
I watched your every move, your sophistication
Your sadness and your [?]
You read books all of 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
6 years old and you had long blonde hair
Down to your waist and you didn't give a damn

You saved me from drowning once, you
Were standing at the latter water
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
6 years old and you had long blonde hair
Down 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 index finger
Your bikini
Pulled me upwards
You were angry
To the surface, I just breathed,
You told me off as you pulled up your bikini
