I Met A Little Girl Lyrics
I met a little girl, sure was fine
Pretty little thing just about blew my mind
She took me home and ahh made love to me
I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be
Most of my life I had been all, all alone
And you're so sweet to me, don't think i'll ever roam
And then one day as time will pass
I had this feeling that our love would last
Nothing could go wrong and it seemed everything I did
Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid
Then one night after we made it, and we were through
That's when I decided I wanted to marry you
Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife
To love, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?
I do, yes I do, I do darlin'
'Cause I love you
1964
Once you really loved me
Once I really loved you
1976
Then time would change you
As time would really change me
We thought our love would stand the test of time
And as I sing this song right now I wonder today, today
If you're a friend of mine
Cry cry cyr-I have done some crying
Woman, you have caused my tears to flow
Cry cry cry-d you cry about me?
Dou you think about the kind of love we had?
Hal le hallelejah
Hal le lu i'm free
Hal le hallelejah
Hal le lu i'm free
(crying and fade)
Pretty little thing just about blew my mind
She took me home and ahh made love to me
I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be
Most of my life I had been all, all alone
And you're so sweet to me, don't think i'll ever roam
And then one day as time will pass
I had this feeling that our love would last
Nothing could go wrong and it seemed everything I did
Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid
That's when I decided I wanted to marry you
To love, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?
I do, yes I do, I do darlin'
'Cause I love you
Once I really loved you
As time would really change me
We thought our love would stand the test of time
And as I sing this song right now I wonder today, today
If you're a friend of mine
Woman, you have caused my tears to flow
Cry cry cry-d you cry about me?
Dou you think about the kind of love we had?
Hal le lu i'm free
Hal le hallelejah
Hal le lu i'm free
(crying and fade)

The song basically sums up everything from the day Marvin and Anna met until some time after the two got a divorce. A few notes on the lyrics:
‘I met a little girl, sure was fine Pretty little thing just about blew my mind She took me home, and made love to me I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be’
Note that there are at least a few years between the day they met and when they first had sex. The two started dating 3 years after they met.
The year 1964 is the year Marvin and Anna got married, which explains the vowels that are exchanged just before the year is mentioned. With 1976 being the year this song was recorded in and the year the two were declared divorced by the state.
The last four lines would mean that Marvin is happy about the break-up when singled out and read. But this is not true as is noticeable by reading the rest of the lyrics and listening to the song (He sings that part quite soft, less confident, and somber).
