When I First Met Your Ma Songtext
von Paul Kelly

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
