i used to follow you and your friends to the ice rink
the back of your skidoo made me all wet (from snow)
you'd pat me on the head as we
stole your dad's chevette, one more time.
i bought new hiking boots so you'd think i was cool
(you didn't care, coz you never knew i was alive)

i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time...
i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time:
my first....

you used to ride yer red and white dirt bike...
i'd hold yer jacket close to my heart so tight.
my mom woke me up, early said
"look what yer friends did to my front yard!"
it was me and my sisters, out my window...
there it was! there, baby! you peed my name in the snow!

i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time...

my first:

(meet me in the school yard, after eight.
still grounded, i couldn't stay out late.
remember all the things you said...
in the back of that chevette:
when we were only fifteen?)

my daddy moved us to a big city:
yer smiling face, i never again did see: no more..
i wonder how you are, and i wonder if you think about me still.
would you guess what i'm doing? you and yer friends.
i want you to remember that you were my first...

[bif:] we are lucky to have something to eat:

everything happens for a reason, and that's good to remember coz the music business is really, really weird.
