I never quite understood
 An afternoon's pleasure
 That really might do me good
 A bad streak for days gone by
 When youth was ours to waste
 Love doesn't last
 You can't trade one for another
 Don't let it get past this time

 Early in the morning the sweetness
 Late one night the sublime
 How can I take you there?

 Make me an offer
 And I'll never leave the nest
 Such a fine looking mother
 Hold me close to your breast
 One man is not enough
 When every day's the same
 Cocked and pulled back
 And ever so right on the trigger
 With only one track in mind

 Early in the morning the sweetness
 Late one night the sublime
 How can I take you there?

 How can I take you, how can I break you
 How can I make you cry?
 I'll  take you there, we'll walk on thin air
 But can you teach me how to fly
