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 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 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 (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



CHORUS



The minute that your 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 away my man

Last I heard, She was in rehab

I guess that scale got outta hand

Covered from head to toe in colored tatoos

Searching for higher views

Hungry for I love you's



CHORUS



Colleen I saw him first
