Lyrics

ponytail

that first time
I was about eleven
across the aisle
and back two rows
just but a boy
pondering heaven
and blond hair pulled
through a velvet bow

and a flick of her ponytail?.

so each week
I would stare at her
do anything
to catch her eye
she must have known
but she never let on
just walked away
with her nose held high

and a flick of her ponytail?.

hair gathered, and held in a bow
bobbing along, wherever she goes
I became a fool for a ponytail?..

a few years on
and wouldn?t you know it
a radiant beauty
caught my eye
sitting pretty
legs hitched on a barstool
looked at me
with a wink and a smile

and a flick of her ponytail?.

so we started talking
and years later
we?re still talking
and carrying on
I love her so
sometimes I hate her
but she turns her head
and such thoughts are gone

with a flick of her ponytail?.

hair gathered, and held in a bow
bobbing along, wherever she goes
I remain a fool for a ponytail?..
