All I knew, true beginners

We had a gift: the perfect present

No such a thing I'm taught

[Chorus]

It's tense for me

Can't live within a memory

Proud woman, I dare not come passively

Every fella deserves his dignity

Can't live within a memory

Proud woman, I dare not come passively

Every fella deserves his dignity

Proud woman, now don't go soft on me

Where's that famous old dexterity?

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense for me

It's tense, it's tense

It's tense for me

[Outro]

Can't live within a memory

Proud woman, I dare not come passively

Every fella deserves
