Don't Go Fall For Someone New
(Dedicated to the men of the 2/130 Infantry Bn, FIST, 48th Bde, US Forces, Baghdad, Iraq, Operation Iraqi Freedom, May 2005 - April 2006. Also, to all the men and women in uniform in our armed forces that have had to leave their families and homes to support freedom. )

This plane is leaving soon and I'll be on my way.there's just one thing that's on my mind
I'll be gone you'll be alone..for a year or so so listen close to what I have to say
Don't talk to stanger's when they pass you on the street Don't let your eyes meet someone new
Just turn your pretty head and look the other way You can bet they're looking straight at you
Some people say that absence makes the heart grow fonder every day
Some folks say yea.. But for some one new
I don't care what people say any how I'm saying I'm coming back for you

Don't let your hands hold the hands of another man
Don't let him stand too close to you
Don't let him see the moonlight shining in your eyes
Don't go and fall for someone new when I'm gone
Don't go and fall for someone new

I'm loosing sleep 'Im loosing hours I'm loosing days
And I'm afraid of loosing you

Don't give your heart to someone else while I'm gone
Don't let your lips kiss someone new
Don't let some tall dark stranger steal your love away
Don't go and fall for someone new oh no.
Don't go and fall for someone new when I'm gone
Don't go and fall for someone new.
