Thank my mom for home, and thank my god for health If not for all this lonesome, would I be myself? Oh, the irony of slipping back to yours After these autumn weeks, unbuttoning your shorts We close the bedroom door Getting alone with you was hard enough The first time I was alone with you (Ah) Getting alone with you was hard enough The first time I was alone with you (Ah) I knew Ooh, ah From the mattress, ashing through your windowpane Sorry I let the cat out on on the fire escape Oh, the mastery you're keeping me in bed Clicking your tongue to teeth, unsettled like a debt You stare at me like we've not met Getting alone with you was hard enough The first time I was alone with you (Ah) Getting alone with you was hard enough The first time I was alone with you (Ah) I knew Ooh, ah Getting alone with you was hard enough The first time I was alone with you
