歌詞

She was a big tough woman, the first to come along That showed me being female meant you still could be strong And though graduation meant that we had to part She'll always be a player on the ballfield of my heart I wrote her name on my note-pad And inked it on my dress And I etched it on my locker And I carved it on my desk And I painted big red hearts With her initials on my books And I never knew till later Why I got those funny looks She was a big tough woman, the first to come along That showed me being female meant you still could be strong And though graduation meant that we had to part She'll always be a player on the ballfield of my heart Well, in gym class while the others Talked of boys that they loved I'd be thinking of new aches and pains The teacher had to rub And while other girls went to the prom I languished by the phone Calling up and hanging up If I found out she was home She was a big tough woman, the first to come along That showed me being female meant you still could be strong And though graduation meant that we had to part She'll always be a player on the ballfield of my heart I sang her songs by Johnny Mathis I gave her everything - A new chain for her whistle And some daisies in the spring Some suggestive poems for Christmas By Miss Edna Millay And a lacy, lacy, lacy card For Valentine's Day She was a big tough woman, the first to come along That showed me being female meant you still could be strong And though graduation meant that we had to part She'll always be a player on the ballfield of my heart So you just go to any gym class And you'll be sure to see One girl who sticks to teacher Like a leaf sticks to a tree One girl who runs the errands And who chases all the balls One girl who may grow up To be the gayest of all She was a big tough woman, the first to come along That showed me being female meant you still could be strong And though graduation meant that we had to part She'll always be a player on the ballfield of my heart
