When I First Met Your Ma

When I first met your mother

I was playing in a bar

She walked in with my girlfriend

My foolish girlfriend brought her there

She looked so pretty and dangerous

As she brushed back her hair

And I was not the only one

Taking notice in that bar

When I first met your ma

When I first kissed your mother

I was single once again

We walked through Fitzroy Gardens

There she took my hand

We could not stop our kissing

Then she whispered in my ear

'Well soon you'll get to know me,

So let's not go too far'

When I first kissed your ma

Love like a bird flies away

You'll find out the only way

Love like a bird flies away

When we first lay together

Inside her father's house

We tried so to be quiet

As we held each other close

Then her dad came pounding and kicked me out of there

I walked two miles in Melbourne rain

But I could have walked ten more

When I first loved your ma

Love like a bird flies away

You'll find out the only way

Love like a bird flies away
