Was I? |
| Sweet young thing of sixteen |
| Thought I’d step out one night |
| I longed to get the thrilling life i’ve missed |
| I met a youth |
| A bit uncouth |
| Although he seemed alright |
| I knew him by the moment when we kissed |
| Then I got home, next day with a swollen head |
| My girlfriend asked if i’d had fun I said, |
| «was I drunk? |
| Was he handsome? |
| Did momma give me hell? |
| Did I get a thrill? |
| Am I full of quiver? |
| Was he rough? |
| Did I care? |
| Am I glad I fell? |
| Every time I think of him do I shiver? |
| Was he hot? |
| And was I? |
| And would he stand for maybe? |
| He would not? |
| Did I lie? |
| Does he still think i’m a baby? |
| If I was, am I still? |
| Do I care? |
| Don’t be silly |
| Was I drunk? |
| Was he handsome? |
| And did momma give me hell? |
| Was I drunk? |
| Was he handsome? |
| Did momma give me hell? |
| With his hands loose as no refusin' |
| Did he fight? |
| Was I blue? |
| Almost shamed to tell |
| And I don’t know yet the system he was usin' |
| Well I said, stop, please, behave! |
| Well what’s the use of breathin'? |
| He said, give |
| So I gave |
| After all, what was I savin'? |
| Am I glad? |
| Holy gee, |
| Have I had fun, you’re askin' me? |
| Was I drunk? |
| Was he handsome? |
| And did momma give me hell?" |
