All the wrong
things that you've done
I've been redeemed
when you spend your time with me
All I wanna know is you'll be around
Even though we're not together
much of the while
And 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 joys
that I 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 times
When they come along,
I'm gonna be headed for maximum highs
If I'd have scored
when you defended your goal
Mmm, and I'd like that education,
I'll make my soul
So I'm gonna try to ignore
what I want for myself
Cause it's selfish to fall in love
on somebody else
And you fill me with joys
that I 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
In first place
You gotta feel the time is
on your side
In the first
You gotta feel like time
is on your side
forever, yeah
See, I love a little like this
Let's get the best out this life
You gotta feel like time is on your side
On your side
On your side
On your side
On your side
On can't let rejection hurt my pride
You let rejection hurt your pride
Oh, no, no, no
Gotta thank what has the most
That's why I'm gonna try to ignore
What I want for myself
Cause self is to force love
on somebody else
And you fill me with joy
Said 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,
In the first place,
That's important to me
In the first place
Then, forever
In the first place
Oh -oh -oh -oh
Evermore, evermore
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh you
