In The First Place

(album: Country Shadows - 1966)

Well listen to me woman I ain't gonna change for you
Or nobody else I'm a gonna be myself
Well you can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place in the first place

Well I ain't gonna quit my flirting
Cause it gives me inspiration when I've had a little kiss or two
Am I coming through
Yeah you can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place in the first place

A well a I might stay out all night
It don't a mean I'm a doing you wrong it's just the way that I am
Oh don't you understand
You can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place in the first place

Well woman I want your love
But if I have to choose between loving you and being a free
You can a plainly see
You can take me like I am or you can leave me like I was
In the first place hey in the first place

Well now that you heard me woman
I just wanted you to know what you're getting into
And it's up a to you
Hey you can take me like I am or you can leave me like I was
In the first place hey the first place
You can take me like I am or leave me like I was in the first place
In the first place hey in the first place all around the first place
