[Verse 1]
Put my hair up in a red ribbon
Drew a lipstick heart on my cheek
Let my breakfast get cold in the kitchen
Walked to the bus stop at the end of my street
My ride that day wasn't yellow
And my destination wasn't Charlotte High
I just sat and stared out the window
Tryin' real hard not to cry

[Chorus]
All the other girls were laughin' in the hallway
And I know they were talkin' 'bout me
In the lunchroom, probably eatin' cupcakes
Like you're supposed to do when you're fifteen
And it's Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day

[Verse 2]
Walked up to a little white buildin'
There were people yellin' at me, holdin' signs
And that's a hell of a feelin'
For a kid that's always done everything right

[Chorus]
And all the other girls were laughin' down the hallway
And I was puttin' on a paper dress
And lyin' on a cold, steel table
Nobody holdin' my hand
And it was Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day
[Chorus]
Yeah, I remember just walkin' down the hallway
Feelin' everything but numb
And I remember all the things those people called me
And that's the last time I felt young
It was Valentine's Day
It was Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day
