You were a hard-faced kid
That was new on the block
An unknown life force
That nobody could stop

You had a mind of black and gold
And every shade in between
You were a paperback boy
With a slate so clean

So come on
So come on

You were my heart-shaped queen
On your way to school
You were a paperback girl
Back before it was cool

You were a bird shot down
With you feathers all red
With your face turned up
And your arms outstretched

Now come on
Now come on
