They were eighteen and twenty-four

He told her he had been to war

She loved him from the minute that he spoke

She took him in he had her pegged

She took a razor to her leg

You could hardly read it through the blood

It said i love bob



On the third day it began to rain

She said bob i just can't stand the pain

He said catch a ride hey babe i gotta go

So she drove down to emergency

And the nurse in the infirmary

Cleaned it with an antiseptic swab

It said i love bob



It's been fifteen years she's thirty-three

Five years ago she married me

Misfortunes of the past have been discussed

But sometimes no when she's alone

In bed or taking off her clothes

She traces with her fingers around the scars

It says i love bob
