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
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 fathers house
We tried to be so 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
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
