Let’s take it slow, I’m a little dead inside
Let that be for some subsequent therapy
Let’s not rush, I’m a little tender still
But let that be for some later soul surgery
and make believe I’ve never seen you before
I never kissed your lips
Can it be like the time before the first time
I never touched you before, never held you in my arms
Can it still be like before the first time

How long can it last
Can you really touch the past
Maybe it’s the stuff of dreams
Ooh, that’s how it seems

So take it slow, I’m a little rough inside
Let that be for some subsequent rhapsody,
and make believe I never seen you before
I never kissed your lips
can it be like the time before the first time
I never touched you before, never held you in my arms
Can it be like the time before the first time
