In memory you're 17

In your boyfriend's Econoline

At the Aquatorium in Gary

A dress shirt and his favorite jeans

His hair is long and smelling good

The music loud when he looks into your eyes

It was true love

Don't ever let them tell you any different

It was true love

True love love

A month after you left for school

He crashed his van ang he was killed

He had your name tattooed you never saw it

You got the call and didn't cry

You blew off class and got the bus

They whispered when they saw you at the funeral

That it was true love

Don't ever let them tell you any different

It was true love

True love love

And now your dog has got his name

You never tell anyone that

His memory's your one constant companion

And it was true love

Don't ever let them tell you any different

It was true love

True love love
