My One Night of Chivalry
She was all of twenty-two
And I was twenty-five
Experiences, I had a few
I was hitting my sexual stride
She was pure and innocent
When she made this request of me
Would I please be the first
To remove her virginity
Now, I’ll admit I was horny as hell
And she was a beauty queen
But to do what she was asking me
Would have been purely obscene
The first time that she makes love
She deserves the very best
A man who loves her with all his heart
I would surely fail that test
I showed her what a man looks like
But wouldn’t allow her to touch
She wanted me to lay in bed with her
But I knew that would be too much
She thought that I was rejecting her
As tears ran down her face
Nothing could be farther from the truth
It was just the wrong time and place
I don’t know why I was so chivalrous
It had never happened before
I left her alone in my room
And paid for my first whore
When I returned to my apartment
There was a note taped to the door
Saying not to worry none
She wouldn’t bother me any more
I’ve often wondered since that night
Did my actions work as planned
Did she wait for the perfect time
Or just find another man
She was all of twenty-two
And I was twenty-five
I always will remember you
As long as I’m alive
