I met you when I was seventeen
Wide-eyed with first love.

Oh the utter joy

I loved you when I was eighteen
Paining me to become a woman

Oh the utter joy

I hated you when I was nineteen
Shattering the inner essence of me

Oh the utter despair

I met you when I was forty-seven
Wide-eyed with second love

Oh the utter joy

I loved you when I was forty-eight
Blissfully becoming a woman again

Oh the utter joy

I hated you when I was forty-nine
Shattering me all over again

Oh the utter despair

Twice in a lifetime we met and loved and you broke my heart
Here's til we meet again
