I'd like to wake up with you early in the morning or stay up late just playin' records on your phonograph. I'd like to get to know your mother and your father, maybe just once pretend to be somebody's better half. And I would like to tell the very first lie.

I'd like to ignore all my friends and spend my time with you, maybe shake your tambourine. I'd like to do the sorts of things that you and I could do, and we could most anything. And I would like to tell the very first lie.

I'd like to get to know your family and friends you know. Maybe pick you up from work. I'd like to do the sorts of things that you and I could do 'till it hurts.

I'd like to wake up with you early in the morning or stay up late just playin' records on your phonograph. I'd like to get to know your mother and your father, maybe just once pretend to be somebody's better half. And I would like to tell the very first lie.
