Story Behind The Song

A very much embellished version of something that happened to a friend of mine...pb

Song Description

Humorous song written from the perspective of a guy who has just learned that his ex-girlfriend is a lesbian

Lyrics

looking back on when we met, and all the times we shared
felt so right to hold you tight, we didn't have a care
closing down our favorite bars, our friends would all go home
then you and i would find someplace, where we could be alone

but now, i have't seen you in almost four years
and i just kept denying all the rumors that i'd hear
but i saw you walking home, hand-in-hand the other night
and i looked at your new lover, and i knew that they were right

chorus:
she's a lesbian now
i can't help thinking i did something wrong somehow
she used to be my life and my world
and now they're telling me that she likes girls
not that there's anything wrong with that

we'd get together down on the campus lawn
and stay out drinking cofee, until the break of dawn
studying for mid-terms we'd never go to bed
we both were business majors ... til she switched to phy-ed

yeah, when we'd get together, it always felt so right
we'd snuggle up and watch the Ellen Show on Tuesday night
and i didn't even mind it when she kicked my ass at sports
and i actually kind of liked it when she cut her hair real short

Repeat Chorus

Looking back i should've known it wasn't meant to be
when she went to the Lillith Fair, she didn't go with me
but now i know it never could have worked out anyway
she travels way too much on the lady's PGA

Repeat Chorus
