Peggy Sue Got Married
Peggy Sue's Secret: Unraveling Love's Whispers
Lyrics
Please don't tell, no, no, no
Request to keep information confidential
Please don't tell I told you so
Reiteration of the plea for secrecy
I just heard a rumor from a friend
Heard a rumor from a friend and is about to share it
I don't say that it's true
Expressing uncertainty about the truth of the rumor
I'll just leave that up to you
Leaving the judgment of the rumor's truth to the listener
If you don't believe, I'll understand
Assuring understanding if the listener doesn't believe the rumor
Do you recall a girl that's been in nearly every song?
Asking if the listener remembers a girl featured in many songs
This is what I heard, of course, the story could be wrong
Indicating uncertainty about the accuracy of the information
She's the one, I've been told
Stating that the girl is the one being talked about
'Cause she's wearing that band of gold
Pointing out a distinctive feature (band of gold) that identifies the girl
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
Revealing that Peggy Sue recently got married
Do you recall a girl that's been in nearly every song?
Repeating the question about the girl in songs
This is what I heard, of course, the story could be wrong
Reiterating uncertainty about the accuracy of the information
She's the one, I've been told
Reaffirming that the girl is the one in question
'Cause she's wearing that band of gold
Emphasizing the identifying feature of the girl (band of gold)
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
Repeating the revelation that Peggy Sue recently got married
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
Reiteration of Peggy Sue's recent marriage
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
Further emphasis on Peggy Sue's recent marriage
Peggy Sue, she got married not long ago
Final confirmation of Peggy Sue's recent marriage
