[00:20.64]Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
[00:23.71]I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
[00:26.71]We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
[00:29.73]Laughin’ at my sister as she’s dazzling the room
[00:32.63]Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”

[00:38.80]Everybody’s dancin’ and the band’s top volume
[00:41.80]Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
[00:44.42]Grab my sister, and whisper,
[00:46.24]“Yo, this one’s mine.”
[00:49.10](Oh)My sister made her way across the room to you
[00:51.17](Oh)And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?”

[01:34.42]Thank you for all your service
[01:36.44]If it takes fighting a war for us to meet,

[01:42.77]One week later
[01:43.78]I’m writin’ a letter nightly
[01:45.57]Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
[01:48.55]Laughin’ at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem

[01:57.60]My father’s stone-faced
[01:58.88]While you’re asking for his blessin’
[02:00.69]I’m dying inside, as
[02:02.18]You wine and dine
[02:03.35]And I’m tryin’ not to cry
[02:04.91]‘cause there’s nothing that your mind can’t do
[02:08.10]My father makes his way across the room
[02:09.86]To you
[02:11.22]I panic for a second, thinking
[02:12.73]“we’re through”
[02:14.23]But then he shakes your hand and says
[02:15.74]“Be true”
[02:17.15]And you turn back to me, smiling, and I’m
