Little catholic girl is fallin' in love
A face on a page, a gift from above
She should've known better
than to give her heart
She should've known better
than to ever part without me,
without me
I gave her everything that I ever owned
I think she understood it but she never spoke
She shouldn't oughta try to be that way
She shouldn't have to go there
every day without me, without me
Now listen to us good and listen well
Listen to the song and everything we tell
We should've known better
than to give her away
We should've known better to this very day,
without me, without me
Listen, all you gotta do
Say the right words and I'll be coming through
Hold you in my arms and take you right away
Now she's turned away to another land
We never understood it why she gave her hand
She shouldn't oughta promise,
'cos it's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it
and she'll leave again without me,
without me
Without me, without me
Without me, without me
