That's A Sad Affair Lyrics - Jim Reeves

I know a boy who knows a girl and she is so in love 

She wants him for he's all the things that she's been dreamin' of 

She wants to share a kiss with him but he's too shy to dare 

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair 

Everytime she looks at him with eyes so big and blue 

He always looks the other way and she don't know what to do 

For he is such a perfect doll with blond and curly hair 

But he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair 

Soda pop and bubble gum she brings him by the score 

Lots of candy kisses too he couldn't ask for more 

But he's a rough-tough cowboy and for girls he just don't care 

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair 

[ steel ] 

She always follows him around next door and back again 

If she can't be his lady fair she'll be his indienne 

Cause she just wants to be with him no matter when or where 

For he's her great big hero and that's a sad affair 

She's given up her paper dolls and now she totes a gun 

Cause that's the way he likes to play so she pretends it's fun 

For him she'd do most anything but he's so unaware 

For he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair 

When the rain comes pourin' down and they must be apart 

It doesn't bother him at all but it almost breaks her heart 

She's just content to tag along and hopes someday he'll care 

But he's just four and she's just three and that's a sad affair
