I'm Already Taken

Steve Wariner · The Hits Collection [Capitol] [2003]

My little third grade hand wrote, ''I love you.''

On a note of yellow paper,

And sent it to the front of the room

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,



''I'm already taken

You spoke up to late

I love somebody else,

So you'll 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, ''There's something

That you really ought to know.''



''I'm already taken

You spoke up to late

I love somebody else,

So you'll just have to wait.''



So wait I did,

And never changed my love

For that little blonde-haired girl

Who's now the mother of

Our little blonde-haired boy

Who's to our hearts so close

I hate to think how fast he's 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.



''I'm already taken

You spoke up to late

I love your daddy, son,

So you'll just have to wait.''



''I'm already taken

You spoke up to late

I love your daddy, son,

So you'll just have to wait.''...
