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
