The first time I saw you

I loved you
I loved you

Your face blue
Your eyes too
      G
Your mouth too Your mouth too
    C
When I heard you
I wanted to
 G
Give birth to you

I made love to you

G                          C
The great goddess had us blessed

The last time I saw you
I fought with you
I fought with you
I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to
Oh say you'll see me
Let me say sorry

The next time I see you
I'll love you
I'll be sweet to you
I'll take you to
My healing room
Oh we both know
How loneliness goes

Everytime I see you
I want you
I want you
The more I do
You hate me to
But the great goddess
Has us blessed
