They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What...

Now it struck me. It was her MSN id and she loved Chris Rhea. But then when I saw it first, it somehow missed my mind. Now its too late.

See the lyrics below.    Stainsby Girls - Chris Rhea Some girls used to kiss and run Never knew what they had done Some girls always wasted time Keep you hanging on the line Some loved horses and always stayed at home But the Stainsby girls loved the Rolling Stones Now some had games that you had to play Making rules along the way Strange attractions newly found Pride and passion kicked around Some girls stole your heart Like most girls do But a Stainsby girls could break it in two And I fell in love, I fell in love I fell in love with a Stainsby girl Deepest water Stainsby blue Running straight, running true Names and faces...
