Lyrics
- Somebody met her
Somebody liked her
Somebody stole her away
Tho’ she deceived me
Right from the start
I hold no grievance
Down in my heart
Chorus
I’ll take her back
If she wants to come back
The girl that was stolen from me
She’s just a child
Didn’t mean to be wild
Fell for someone’s flattery
I got the news she may knock at my door
I should refuse and I ought to get sore
But I’ll take her back
If she wants to come back
The girl that was stolen from me
- Perhaps the first time
Won’t be the last time
She may forsake me again
I’ll be forgiving
And take a chance
There’s no use living
Without romance
