I was sixteen when I met my first boyfriend
It was short, it was sweet, and I loved him so
I thought I'd do anything for him but the
One thing that he wanted the most
*count three beats* Then he met a good friend of mine:
That's when I gave him away
Yeah I gave him away yea ee yea
To a good friend of mine, ai ee ai
but I don't regret a single thing.
I was twenty when I met another guy
We were together for three years, thought there was joy
in our relationship, but he was not okay
With the affection that I'd give him, but nothing more
Then I introduced to my own best friend:
And I gave him away
Yeah I gave him away, yea yea
To my own best friend, oh oh
but I don't regret a single thing.
No no
No no
Three months later, I met somebody new
A coworker that I happened to think was cute,
We started talking, and I liked him, but wouldn't say
So he never knew about the way I felt...
He set me up with his best friend so we
started dating
That's when I realized:
That he gave me away
He gave me away, yay ee yay
To his own best friend, yeah yeah
I hope he don't regret a single thing
Because I do regret it.
(I'm so selfish: I just can't seem to catch a break, can I?)

I have a melody for this song...
and... I like it... XD
It could be a country song... I'm sure there are more girls out there than just myself who can relate to being in relationships that just didn't work, and then finding a person they thought they'd like to be with but not having the courage to say it, so when that person sets you up with someone else... XD
It's about being able to have no regrets when it comes to ending a relationship on a good note when it's starting to get bad, but having regrets when it comes to 'the one that got away.' XD
I actually rather like the melody I have in my head... I need to figure out the chords. I know that it shares chords with La Bamba and with another song, but I'll have to figure out the little trill on my own.
The song has a weird melody in that it's very much a connected singing job until you get to certain lines-then it gets a little stilted. XD
