Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't tell, no no no
Don't say that I told you so
I just heard a rumor from a friend

I don't say that it's true, I'll just leave that up to you
If you don't believe me I'll understand

You recall the girl that's been in nearly every song
This is what I heard of course the story could be wrong

You recall the girl that's been in nearly every song
This is what, what I heard of course the story could be wrong

She's the one, I've been told
'Cause she wears a band of gold




Peggy Sue got married not long ago
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
