Lyrics

The first time's a mystery, a well what ever kinda thing
You say just forget it, so we'll just forget about today ... ok
The next time__ it happens, and then again__ til actually
'S allatime_a happenin 'n u know that ain'ta happenin but hey what the hey
So she thinks for a moment, and drinks with the roses
You gotta get a holda this, you got to grab onto your life's your life

The third time is lucky, and the three thousand afterwards
She's a charm school graduate still charming 'em all to this day... 's her way
He's taking off and touching down, all around and on the town
He's a rhinestone wannabe, looking round uneasily ... he ain't free

So he thinks for a moment and drinks with the roses
You gotta get a holda this, figure out this latest twist
The first time's for free, but the rest always get to ya
What the hell were ya thinking? And what hell were they after?

And she was so far away: feeling like a molecule, silence is a lonely rule
And he was so far away: jumpin jiving candyman, never never
Really understands... What it's all about? Ooooh... sister shake it out
And she can't explain why there's always this pain
In her brain, in her heart, and in this life

So it's back to the start, for the two broken wanderers
It starts with a smile, and then kisses soon afterwards say this can be the way
One thousand footfalls, and it starts with the first one
The others will follow, you know this is truly the way come what may

So they climb to the top, though they walk from the bottom
They will get a hold a this, and they will hold so on to it
The best things in life, yeah the best that it's gotta give
Never come free, and they never come too easily... you'll see...truly
Let us be... lovely. Truly, lovely, come be, lovely, with me ...
Truly, lovely, truly, love me
