Paul Kelly - When I First Met Your Ma lyrics

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
