Was the frst to love you

And I won't be the last man to try

Built a wall around you

Spoke a common language

Had a grudging respect for the truth

Told you all that worried me.

Tell me. . . Tell me the way they pinned you down

Oh so naturally. . . I'm a realistic man.

Was the first to love you

And I won't be the last man to try

Built a wall around you.

When the party's over

And they're scraping the mess off the floor

We'll still be laughing at them then.

Tell me. . . Tell me the way they pinned you down

Oh so natrually oh I'm a realistic man.
