Pauline (single)

Pauline Pauline you’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
You’re poetry in motion a country boy’s dream
But why you got to be so mean Pauline

Do you remember when we were just kids in school
You must have missed the day we learned that golden rule
I passed you a letter thought I’d try my luck and see
You showed it to your friends and you all laughed at me

Pauline Pauline you’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
You’re poetry in motion a country boy’s dream
But why you got to be so mean Pauline

When I left the navy I came home to Tennessee
Stepped off that bus lord and the first smile that I see
You were selling peaches I asked how much for an old friend
You said friends pay twenty five but for you they’re fifty cents

I’m an old man now but I love to reminisce
Back to your parents house and the day you asked me in
I could have swore you hated me but that night you changed my mind
I never knew a girl so mean could treat a boy so kind

Pauline, Pauline. You’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
After all these years together I’m so glad you’re still with me
You’re everything to me you’re the woman of my dreams
I kinda like it when you’re mean, Pauline.
