First Time

歌詞

There is no time quite like the first time All quivering and shaking at your knees The ladies dance like silver silhouettes The gentlemen keep practicing their sleeves They will say whatever they must To get what they need The girls say whatever they must To get you to leave She'll say she's not ready to be with a man She'll say she's from Russia, and she don't understand But don't you believe her, it's part of the game She'll say there's a boyfriend, and she'll make up his name She'll call you a creep, but don't feel no shame There is no crime quite like the first crime That first stolen heart is different than the first As she bats her eyes like silver butterflies You make false promises with each beat of her chest You say whatever you must To get what you need She'll fight with some of her heart To get you to leave She'll say that's she's drawing a line in the sand But she'll acquiesce and allow you her hand Your bodies are changing, alive with a thrill This girl makes you busy, you cannot be still You want to go further, you pray that she will But if you say love, don't betray love That's more dangerous than you believe There is no lie quite like the first goodbye You let her down as gently as a breeze You shield her eyes from the silver light You pray you'll not wake her from her dreams You say whatever you must To get away clean You say there's a war in a faraway land And the navy has sent you to the sea of Japan And they've packed up your suitcase, you have to leave now To fight for your country, to die for your crown You hold back the tears 'cause you feel you might drown You say what you must You say what you must You say what you must But if you say love, don't betray love That's more dangerous than you believe
