That’s A Sad Affair - Jim Reeves

I know a boy who knows a girl

She is so in love

She wants him for he’s all the things

That she’s been dreamin' of.

She wants to share a kiss with him

But he’s too shy to dare

For he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair.

Everytime she looks at him

With eyes so big and blue

He always looks the other way

And she don’t know what to do.

For he is such a perfect doll

With blond and curly hair

But he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair.

Soda pop and bubble gum

She brings him by the score

Lots of candy kisses too

He couldn’t ask for more.

But he’s a rough-tough cowboy

And for girls he just don’t care

For he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair.

--- Instrumental ---

She always follows him around

Next door and back again

If she can’t be his lady fair

She’ll be his indienne.

'Cause she just wants to be with him

No matter where or when

For he’s her great big hero

And that’s a sad affair.

She’s given up her paper dolls

And now she totes a gun

'Cause that’s the way he likes to play

So she pretends it’s fun.

For him she’d do most anything

But he’s so unaware

For he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair.

When the rain comes pourin' down

And they must be apart

It doesn’t bother him at all

But it almost breaks her heart.

She’s just content to tag along

And hopes someday he’ll care

But he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair…

Yes, he’s just four and she’s just three

And that’s a sad affair…
