I'm Already Taken

(Track 4 - Time 3:20)



My little third grade hand wrote I love you

On a note of yellow paper

And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl

The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself

I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said



I'm already taken

You spoke up too late

I love somebody else

So you'll just have to wait



The years flew by so quickly

And there we were in junior high

I realized that I still loved her so

So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt

Then she said there's something that you really ought to know



I'm already taken

You spoke up too late

I love somebody else

So you'll just have to wait



So wait I did and never changed my love for that little blonde-haired girl

Whos' now the mother of our little blonde-haired boy

Who's to our hearts so close

I hate to think how fast he's growing up

Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed

He said, Mommy will you marry me

And this is what she said



I'm already taken

You spoke up too late

I love your daddy son

So you'll just have to wait



I'm already taken

You spoke up too late

I love your daddy son

So you'll just have to wait
