Pauline, Pauline
You’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
You’re poetry in motion, a country boy’s dream
But why you got to be so mean, Pauline?
Do you remember when we were just kids in school?
You must have missed the day we learned that golden rule
I passed you a letter, thought I’d try my luck and see
You showed it to your friends and you all laughed at me
Pauline, Pauline
You’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
You’re poetry in motion, a country boy’s dream
But why you got to be so mean, Pauline?
When I left the navy, I came home to Tennessee
Stepped off that bus, Lord, and the first smile that I see
You were sellin’ peaches, I asked, “How much for an old friend?”
You said, “Friends pay twenty-five, but for you they’re fifty cents.”
I’m an old man now but I love to reminisce
Back to your parents’ house and the day you asked me in
I could have swore you hated me, but that night you changed my mind
I never knew a girl so mean could treat a boy so kind
Pauline, Pauline
You’re the sweetest thing I have ever seen
After all these years together, I’m so glad you’re still with me
You’re everything to me, you’re the woman of my dreams
I kinda like it when you’re mean, Pauline
