Some girls used to kiss and run Never knew what they had done Some girls always wasted time Keep you hanging on the line Some loved horses and always stayed at home But the Stainsby girls loved the Rolling Stones Now some had games that you had to play Making rules along the way Strange attractions newly found Pride and passion kicked around Some girls stole your heart Like most girls do But a Stainsby girls could break it in two And I fell in love, I fell in love I fell in love with a Stainsby girl Deepest water Stainsby blue Names and faces fade away Memories here to stay And I fell in love, I fell in love I fell in love with a Stainsby girl
