Oh, you were holding her, you were kissing her
But what could I do?
After telling me you would always be
Mine forever true
Last night I went to a late-night movie show
At first couldn't see with the lights so low
Then in the dark I saw a boy I thought I knew
You didn't look 'round, but I knew it was you
No, you didn't look 'round 'cause you were occupied
Kissing the girl that sat there by your side
I was trying not to cry and let my feelings show
You didn't look 'round, so you wouldn't know
Oh, you were holding her, you were kissing her
But what could I do?
After telling me you would always be
Mine forever true
My whole world came tumbling down that night
When I saw you holding her so tight
I'm gonna lock my heart to you; at least I'm gonna try
You didn't look 'round, so you'll never know why
I'm gonna lock my heart to you
At least I'm going to try
You didn't look 'round
No, you'll never know why
'Cause you didn't look 'round
Now you'll never know why
No, you didn't look 'round
