Sheila C.

Sheila C. was the prettiest

Girl in my town

The boys loved her

So people say she ran around

Sheila's reputation was fast

She was my first love

And she was my last

Sheila C. was the prettiest

Girl in my town

Every night we'd steal away

And have a rendezvous

Turn the radio up

And to what lovers do

Everybody knew that Sheila and I

Would be together

The rest of our lives

Why did he take her away from me

He couldn't love her

Couldn't love her

Any more than me

I should have been

With Sheila that night

But by the time they find me

I'll be beside my Sheila

Ah Sheila

I knew that something was wrong

When I picked up the phone

Her father's voice was shaking'

When he said

She never made it home

I ran outside and it started to rain

It felt like tears

And that's when I knew

I'd never see my Sheila again

Why did he take her away from me

He couldn't love her

Couldn't love her

Any more than me

I should have been with

Sheila that night

But by the time they find me

I'll be beside my Sheila
