The first time that I saw you, I
Wanted you to be the beat
To my bass line
And maybe we could make a melody
But the lyrics came
And they said no, don't go
You'd be better off
Making this duet a solo
I've seen the sheet music
And I think it's kinda strange
That we'd make it to the bridge
Thinkin' we might find a key change
But the last time you said you loved me
I heard our love as a song
The harmonies were all wrong
But, baby, I didn't mind
Until we got to the second verse
We ran all out of words
And that beat skipped, skipped
All out of time
But my record was a hit
We were only a hit in my mind
But stupid me, I believed
The last three words of the last line
But that's fine, that'll be the last time
But the last time you said you loved me
I heard our love as a song
The harmonies were all wrong
But, baby, I didn't mind
Until we got to the second verse
We ran all out of words
And that beat skipped, skipped
All out of time
But my record was a hit
We were only a hit in my mind
But stupid me, I believed
The last three words of the last line
But that's fine, that'll be the last time
The last time
The first time that I saw you, I
Wanted you to be the beat
