The Dendre (French) or Dender (Dutch) is a 65-kilometre (40 mi) long river in Belgium, right tributary of the river Scheldt. The confluence of both rivers is in the Belgian town of Dendermonde.
The Western or Little Dender springs near Leuze-en-Hainaut at an elevation of about 60 to 70 metres (200 to 230 ft) above sea level. The source of the Eastern Dender is near Jurbise at a height of 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level. The two rivers meet in the town of Ath. The length of the Western Dender up to Ath is 22 kilometres (14 mi); the Eastern Dender is 39 kilometres (24 mi) long. From that confluence the river is called the Dender proper. From Ath, the river passes in the Denderstreek through the cities and towns of Geraardsbergen, south of which its tributuary the Mark flows into it, Ninove and Aalst to end in Dendermonde. The Dender is navigable to Aalst for small ships up to 600 tons and further upstream for ships up to 350 tons. The Molenbeek-Ter Erpenbeek flows into the Dender at Hofstade.
[Verse 1:]
It'd taken me forever to call, I needed a little while
You know that being emotional usually ain't my style
But since it's just me talking to you, there's a side that I wanna show
Cause if I can't come to you, where else can I go?
Ever since we been apart boy life ain't fair
Remember when you left, remember what I said
I said that I didn't care
Yes I said a lot of things, but half of them I didn't mean
And right now I couldn't be more sinceer, listen to me
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I remember when you told me that you love me (ooh ooh ooh)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
[Verse 2:]
The fussin and fightings on you,
Yes there were things I did wrong, but still you had your faults
And at times you couldn't take truth
I swore that I was in control, just knew I was invincible
But two or three months alone and I just wanted you back home
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (ooh boy you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (yes you did, yes you did)
I remember when you told me that you love me (oh boy)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy (me-e ooh)
[Bridge:]
... baby I miss you... and when I see you with her
All I do is... and put the blame all on myself (yea, heh)
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy(it was the moment you walked away baby, baby)
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (I remember you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (you taught me how to treat somebody sweet)
I remember when you told me that you love me (I remember, do you remember)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
(Me boy, me boy, me boy, ohhh me boy, me boy, me boy
And I would probably still be with you boy, you boy, you boy
Said if I knew everything that I know right now back then
