My little third grade hand wrote I love you
On a note of yellow paper
And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl
The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself
I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

Im already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So youll just have to wait

The years flew by so quickly
And there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so
So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt
Then she said theres something that you really ought to know

Im already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So youll just have to wait

So wait I did and never changed my love for that little blonde-haired girl
Whos now the mother of our little blonde-haired boy
Whos to our hearts so close
I hate to think how fast hes growing up
Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed
He said, mommy will you marry me
And this is what she said

Im already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So youll just have to wait

Im already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So youll just have to wait
