"For The First Time"
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it God's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Trying to make it work but
Man, these times are hard,
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Ooooo,.. yeah, for the first time
Ooooo,.. oh, for the first time,
Ooooh,.. yeah, for the first time,
(Just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time)
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
