First Time Around

Song	First Time Around
Artist	Al Kooper
Album	You Never Know Who Your Friends Are

	Kooper
	Oh laughin’ lightly it was night time
	She held my hand & she took me down
	While askin’ strangers for the right time
	We walked outside the leering lights of town
	And slowly as it dawned on me that I’d never be the same
	I bit my lip so hard it bled and I softly called her name
	With hands as smooth as morning raindrops
	She soaked my body head to toe
	She asked me “Now?” and I said “Not yet, luv...”
	“But when it’s time you’ll be the first to know...”
	And soon the man inside me quickly surfaced to the top
	And cryin’ out for help I found it much too late to stop
	With eyes as wide as lighthouse searchlights
	I tried my best to act demure
	But she could not contain her laughter
	As she told me “All that glitters is not pure...”
	And knowing that for certain
	It was lost upon the ground
	I hope you find it easy
	When it’s your first time around

	Oh laughin' lightly it was night time
	She held my hand she took me down
	While askin' strangers for the right time
	We walked outside the leering lights of town
	And slowly as it dawned on me that I' d never be the same
	I bit my lip so hard it bled and I softly called her name
	With hands as smooth as morning raindrops
	She soaked my body head to toe
	She asked me " Now?" and I said " Not yet, luv..."
	" But when it' s time you' ll be the first to know..."
	And soon the man inside me quickly surfaced to the top
	And cryin' out for help I found it much too late to stop
	With eyes as wide as lighthouse searchlights
	I tried my best to act demure
	But she could not contain her laughter
	As she told me " All that glitters is not pure..."
	And knowing that for certain
	It was lost upon the ground
	I hope you find it easy
	When it' s your first time around
