First Place

(앨범: Getahead - 1989)

All the wrong things that you've done
Are then redeemed
When you spend your time with me
All I want to is you'll be around
Even though
We're not together much of while
I used to call you the one for me
But if we ain't got two to tango
Then it's fantasy

So I'm gonna try to ignore
What I want for myself
It's selfish to force love on somebody else
And you fill me with joy
That I'm meant not to waste
I'm just grateful that I met you
In the first place

In the first place
Baby
In the first place
In the first place

Ever, yeah

I'm grateful now I realize that
Against the odds I end up spending time with you
Saving tension for those tougher ties
And when they come along I'm gonna be
Heading for maximum highs
If I'd have scored when defended you goal
Then I'd lack that education arming my soul

So I'm gonna try to ignore
What I want for myself
It's selfish to force love on somebody else
And you fill me with joy
That I'm meant not to waste
I'm just grateful that I met you
In the first place

In the first place, baby
In the first place
In the first place
What is meant to be, will be
You gotta feeling time is on your side
Gotta feeling time is on your side
Forever

Yeah
See, I look at it like this
To get the best out of this life
You gotta feel that time is
On your side
On your side
On your side
I can't let rejection
Hurt my pride

That's why I'm gonna try to ignore
What I want for myself
It's selfish to force love on somebody else
And you fill me with joy
That I'm meant not to waste
I'm forever grateful that I met you
In the first place

In the first place
In the first place
In the first place
In the first place
In the first place
Whatever will be will be
It's important to me
Then now forever
Ohhhh
Ever more
Ever more

Ohhhh
