• There was a girl,
    She blamed herself.
    Tried to get his heart,
    Off a shelf.

    She can't get it down,
    Someone else put it there.
    She wants to help,
    But she doesn't dare.

    His heart is broke
    Up on that shelf.
    It's not her fault,
    But she blames herself.

    He starts to cry,
    She cries too,
    both afraid to say,
    "I love you."

    They try to talk,
    Words come out wrong.
    He tries to tell her,
    He's been hurt for so long.

    There was a girl
    She blamed herself.
    She finally got his heart,
    Off that shelf.

    Now they are happy
    Together and free.
    A couple of kids,
    As in love as could be.
