colleen (i saw him first)-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 one to smoke a cigarette

She once let me watch her make love / it was the kind of balance made by kings

She took it all, but left me some / i guess i always thought that she'd have my

Back

But it didn't work out like that / the moment i laid eyes on jack



Chorus

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 / he backed his car right into mine

"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



Chorus

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



The minute that you're in it / you know there's no turning back

Like me and my jack / a funny thing

To feel the weight of the pendulum swing / when it starts to swing

Colleen, armed with charm and body / still couldn't take my man

Last i heard, she was in rehab / i guess that scale got outta hand

Covered from head to toe in coloured tattoos / searching for higher views /

Hungry for i love you's



Chorus

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
