I've had the prettiest girlfriends
That you've ever seen
Some were smart and some were sweet
and some were in between
One of them got famous
Don't know about the rest

But Lynnie was the best

Saw her every day at work
I drove deliveries then
We'd stand and hold each other
For a minute or two or ten
That's all we ever did
Never coalesced

Lynnie was the best

Just a plain girl ... ordinary
Always a happy smile
We'd hold each other together
for a long long while

Couldn't see ourselves together
Different in every way
Some would say I was too respectful
But I let her slip away
She and I just had some fun
As you might have guessed

Lynnie was the best
