Second Thoughts
Second Thoughts: Love, Regrets, and Life's Choices
Lyrics
It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55
Recalling a moment in the high school yearbook from May of '55.
We were voted the couple most likely to survive
Recognized as the couple most likely to endure and thrive.
Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends
Even educators acknowledged a deeper connection beyond friendship.
But your mama had some second thoughts back then
However, your mother had reservations about the relationship back then.
When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town
While you pursued nursing school, I remained in my town job.
To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down
Staying behind aimed to prove my maturity to your parents.
When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin
During your holiday visits, our happiness was untainted.
But your mama had some second thoughts again
Yet, your mother harbored doubts about us once more.
Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
Questions if your mother knows about my wealth and relative contentment.
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
Wondering if she's admitted the possibility of being mistaken.
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
Her sole desire was to see the best for you.
And that's all I ever really wanted too.
Parallelly, my aspiration was aligned—to seek the best for you too.
Thanks to her she made me want to prove I could succeed
Her influence pushed me to strive for success.
But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need
However, her influence also ensured I'll never have the one thing I truly need.
And If she reads the papers and remembers who I am
If she reads about me and recollects my identity, she might reevaluate.
She's probably having seconds again
She could be having doubts about me once more.
Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
Asking again if your mother knows about my wealth and relative contentment.
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
Curious if she has reconsidered her previous stance.
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
Her primary wish was to see the best outcomes for you.
And that's all I ever really wanted too.
Echoing that my ultimate aim was aligned—to secure the best for you as well.
That's all I ever really wanted too.
Reiterating that my intentions solely revolve around your well-being.
