For the First Time (Live)

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration.

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard.

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess
Is it god's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best.

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard.

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

[x3]
Oooooo

She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride.

But we both know how
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up
You get kicked to the dirt.

Trying to make it work but
Man these times are hard.

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night.

Doing things we haven't for a while
A while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

Ooooo
[x3]

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time.

ooooo... yeah for the first time
(ooooo... oh for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time).

[x4]
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby.
