Pauline

[Chorus]
Pauline, Pauline
You're the sweetest thing I have ever seen
You're poetry in motion, a country boy's dream
But why you got to be so mean, Pauline?

[Verse 1]
Do you remember when we were just kids in school?
You must have missed the day we learned that golden rule
I passed you a letter, thought I'd try my luck and see
You showed it to your friends and you all laughed at me

[Chorus]
Pauline, Pauline
You're the sweetest thing I have еver seen
You're poetry in motion, a country boy's drеam
But why you got to be so mean, Pauline?

[Verse 2]
When I left the navy, I came home to Tennessee
Stepped off that bus, Lord, and the first smile that I see
You were sellin' peaches, I asked, "How much for an old friend?"
You said, "Friends pay twenty-five, but for you they're fifty cents."

[Verse 3]
I'm an old man now but I love to reminisce
Back to your parents' house and the day you asked me in
I could have swore you hated me, but that night you changed my mind
I never knew a girl so mean could treat a boy so kind

[Chorus]
Pauline, Pauline
You're the sweetest thing I have ever seen
After all these years together, I'm so glad you're still with me
You're everything to me, you're the woman of my dreams
I kinda like it when you're mean, Pauline
