Colleen Lyrics - Amanda Marshall

Let me tell you about Colleen 

My best friend since I was three 

She always had a taste for dangerous things 

Her scandalous tongue was extreme 

I was always the one left holding the bag 

Smiling and covering her tracks 

Best friends, they always do that 

She was the first to smoke a cigarette 

(She was the first) 

She once let me watch her make love 

(Whoa, whoa, yeah) 

It was the kind of balance made by kings 

She took it all but left me some 

I guess I'd always thought that she'd have my back 

But it didn't work out like that 

(No, no, no) 

The moment I laid eyes on Jack 

It was my time, it was my space 

It was the bright red he brought to my face 

Every underdog has their day 

Sorry, it hurts 

But Colleen, I saw him first 

It all happened on a Thursday 

(Thursday) 

He backed his car right into mine 

(Crash, boom, bang) 

"There are no accidents", my mother told me once 

My heart agreed with her this time 

Colleen jumped out of the car screaming 

"What have you done?" 

Jack offered apologies 

I just got weak in the knees 

(It was my time) 

It was my time 

(It was my space) 

It was my space 

It was the bright red he brought to my face 

Every underdog has their day 

Sorry, it hurts 

But Colleen, I saw him first 

Ooh, ooh, ooh 

The minute that you're in it 

You know there's no turning back 

(Turning back) 

Like me and my Jack 

(Me and Jack) 

A funny thing 

To feel the weight of the pendulum swing 

When it starts to swing 

(Love changes things) 

Colleen, armed with charm and body 

Still couldn't take away my man 

Last I heard, she was in rehab 

I guess that scale got out of hand 

C-c-covered from head to toe in colored tattoos 

Searching for higher views 

Hungry for I love you's 

It was my time, it was my time, it was my space 

It was the bright red he brought to my face 

Every underdog has their day 

Sorry, it hurts 

But Colleen, I saw him first 

Colleen, I saw him first
