He walked with a swagger like I'd never seen His hat was tilted to the side, his suit was keen His lips curled into a smug smile He asked me to sit and talk for awhile He whispered, I blushed, and took his hand The first time I had been close to a man There was a kiss, a peck on the lips He stroked my hair with soft fingertips I had begun to feel a little sick Every move he made was so slick I soon would know it was all a hoax But I couldn't resist his persuasive coax The days dragged by like years on end Every color in my sight began to blend All things turned dark and gray When he let go of my hand that fateful day There were tears, and endless pain I swore I'd never love again Now the sweetness of his lips is sour And sometimes I sit counting the hours I wait for another boy to come my way And maybe I'll sit and talk for a day Because now that my expectations are low I have become the black widow

Black Widow
He walked with a swagger like I'd never seen His hat was tilted to the side, his suit was keen His lips curled into a smug smile He asked me to sit and talk for awhile He whispered, I blushed, and took his hand The first time I had been close to a man There was a kiss, a peck on the lips He stroked my hair with soft fingertips I had begun to feel a little sick Every move he made was so slick I soon would know it was all a hoax But I couldn't resist his persuasive coax The days dragged by like years on end Every color in my sight began to blend All things turned dark and gray When he let go of my hand that fateful day There were tears, and endless pain I swore I'd never love again Now the sweetness of his lips is sour And sometimes I sit counting the hours I wait for another boy to come my way And maybe I'll sit and talk for a day Because now that my expectations are low I have become the black widow
This is actually about the first guy I ever loved, your classic highschool sweetheart.
