Lyrics

	The first time I saw you,
	I loved you,
	I loved you.
	Your face blue,
	Your eyes, too,
	Your mouth, too,
	Your mouth, too.
	When I heard you
	I wanted to
	Give birth to you,
	Give birth to you.
	I made love to you,
	Made love to you.
	The great goddess
	Had us blessed.
	The last time I saw you,
	I fought with you,
	I fought with you.
	I didn't mean to,
	I didn't mean to.
	Oh, say you'll see me.
	Let me say sorry.
	The next time I see you,
	I'll love you,
	I'll be sweet to you
	I'll take you to
	My healing room.
	Oh, we both know
	How loneliness goes.
	Every time I see you,
	I want you,
	I want you.
	The more I do,
	You hate me to,
	But the great goddess
	Had us blessed.
