To M.G. (Wherever She May Be) — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

I was watching a movie the other night on T.V.
The actress reminded me of you
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
She was doin` a part girl, like you used to do
I do believe you played it better
If it wasn`t better, it was just as strong
I would`ve called you up on the telephone that night
But somehow girl, it`d been all wrong

I heard you married a stranger
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you`re older
Hope you didn`t lose that innocent laughter
Oh, God I hope time didn`t take that away
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
A good Catholic girl during the day

Chorus
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can`t hurt a thing
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn`t even know ya

Well I know it wasn`t that big of a love affair
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
I can see now we were no more than friends
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol` man
As it seemed like it was to me

Chorus
