Lyrics

Let me tell you a story
from the other day
?bout a guy named Jimmy
and his girlfriend Paige
they?d been going since high school
?bout the eleventh grade
till Cindy caught his eye
Paige went on to question
what she thought went wrong
did he scare too easy
did she come on too strong
now she?s dating Steven
but it all went wrong
then one day in the market
Jimmy cried to her

I won?t let you down again
I won?t let you down again
please come on home

let me tell you a story
bout a guy named Pete
he was stuck on Lisa
but she was stuck on Steve
Pete invited her smiles
to walk a thousand miles
Steve didn?t see it coming
one nite she went with her friends
to check out this new band
Pete walked out on the stage
sang to her & held her hand
she almost started to cry
cause the truth was in his eyes
wandering Steve met Cindy
Lisa cried to Pete

I won?t let you down again
I won?t let you down again
please come on home

please come on home
I won?t let you down. Please, come home.
