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
