Tomboy by Ronnie Dove Lyrics
When you fell and skinned your knees
By jumping fences, climbing trees
I used to laugh and call you tomboy
You'd run up, cross a meadow
While the sun would chase your shadow
In those carefree days
Freckled face, and april tanned
You always seemed to understand
What daffodils were saying tomboy
I watched you thinking I'll be smart
And in a little while
She'll start to change her ways
But then I went away and I got hurt pretty bad
They sent me home and it's too bad to bear
Cause just out my window
I can see the lovely lady who two short years ago
Was just a kid
A car drives up
You greet your date
And then I sit up awful latе
Until you're safely home
My tomboy
You kiss that boy
I turn my hеad
And wheel myself back too my bed
While teardrops flow
Sometimes you come to visit me
But I don't want your sympathy
It's only you I want my tomboy
But I won't spoil your happiness
So I'll make sure you never guess
I love you so
Sometimes you come to visit me
But I don't want your sympathy
It's only you I want my tomboy
But I won't spoil your happiness
So I'll make sure you never guess
I love you so
[Spoken]
I love you so
By jumping fences, climbing trees
I used to laugh and call you tomboy
You'd run up, cross a meadow
While the sun would chase your shadow
In those carefree days
Freckled face, and april tanned
You always seemed to understand
What daffodils were saying tomboy
I watched you thinking I'll be smart
And in a little while
She'll start to change her ways
But then I went away and I got hurt pretty bad
They sent me home and it's too bad to bear
Cause just out my window
I can see the lovely lady who two short years ago
Was just a kid
A car drives up
You greet your date
And then I sit up awful latе
Until you're safely home
My tomboy
You kiss that boy
I turn my hеad
And wheel myself back too my bed
While teardrops flow
Sometimes you come to visit me
But I don't want your sympathy
It's only you I want my tomboy
But I won't spoil your happiness
So I'll make sure you never guess
I love you so
Sometimes you come to visit me
But I don't want your sympathy
It's only you I want my tomboy
But I won't spoil your happiness
So I'll make sure you never guess
I love you so
[Spoken]
I love you so
