lyrics

Her Lips Said Yes, But Her Heart Pounded No by Ed Englerth

She was extremely young, she didn't feel young
She thought everything would be great
She was twelve, she became a teen
It was like a leap of faith

She loved to do things
Share deep secrets with her best friends
She had a good family, taught her right from wrong
She was sensible or so it seemed

He was older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She was overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She was his selection
And he said I love you I love you
And I want you to know
He said do you love me
She did not reply

Now she'd had friends but not this many
lots of people wanted to talk
She noticed the boys want her now
She told them all to walk

Her boy was older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She was overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She was his selection
And he said I love you I love you
And I want you to know
He said do you love me
She did not reply

So she showed her love
She was violated
She was innocent no longer
She broke up with him
He asked her back
But there was no longer any splendor

A few days later he was “in love”
So to speak, with someone else
She was used
She was drowned with shame
She was swallowed up by guilt
She was alone
He'd been older and so popular
Talented and the center of attention
She'd been overwhelmed he'd noticed her
She'd been his selection
And he said I love you I love
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
And now her hearts so cold
She's afraid to love and afraid to be loved

Her lips said yes as her heart said no
Her lips said yes as her heart said no
He lips whispered yes as her heart pounded no

She was extremely young
She finally realized how young
She thought everything would be great
She was twelve n' turned thirteen
and it was like a leap of faith.
