Thelma Lou
The day that he came back to town
he thought he’d be seein’ you around
he thought he could pick it up where he put it down
but he thought he’d treat you right this time
just like he dreamed about each night
just like he prayed he have the brains to do this time
—-
Now, he’ll never know why he ever let go
of you thelma lou
he dreamed he’d make it right
but none of those dreams ever did come true
and now he just dreams of you
it will always be thelma lou
nothing anyone can do
it will always be dreams of you
thelma lou [what else can he do]

Now he was just a nothing way back then
and he couldn’t believe how you could pretend
not to care about all the things that you’d never have if you stayed with him
He pushed himself hard to get ahead
but then he woke up one day in an empty bed
and he looked in the mirror and he realized the years and you had fled
—————–
Well he always thought he’d get one last chance
but all he got was one last dance
as your fiance watched from across the crowded room
He held you so close like he didn’t care
it was like no-body else in the world was there
and still it was too late for him to say “I love you”
