Verse 2:
It was the hottest day of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn in to men
And I?ll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But the preacher?s words I barely heard as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in
She said
Chorus
***Step up a half-step***
Verse 3:
It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin? at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and a little time, she would be a prize to win
And I?ll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But that preacher?s words could not be heard when she whispered ?come on in?
She said
Chorus
