Lyrics

Back then, there were no others.
All I knew, true beginners.
We had a gift, the perfect present.
No such a thing.
I'm taught.
It's tense for me.
Can’t live within a memory.
Proud woman I daren't come passively.
Every fella deserves his dignity.
Our heart is older than our hands—
it passed from monkey into man.
Now tender hands do heal the hurt.
Man did f**k up and then he learnt.
It's tense for me.
Can’t live within a memory.
Proud woman I daren't come passively.
Every fella deserves his dignity.
It's tense for me.
Can't keep relivin' what is history.
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 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,
Ooh, ooh~
It's tense for me.
Can’t live within a memory.
Proud woman I daren't come passively.
Every fella deserves...
