she turned fifteen
on a warm summer day
saw him on the beach
coming her way
hair thick and brown
eyes bashful blue
her heart skipped a beat
and her senses did too
she fell in love
like many girls do
before knowing the boy
she gave her little heart to
she though he was hers
she though she was his
but learned she was wrong
when along came Liz
who took him away
with a flip of her hair
which showed the girl
that boys don’t care
about what’s inside
about what is true
they see what they see
and want what is new
the girl learned a lesson
on that bright summer day
don’t believe, don’t trust
because boys won’t stay
