Reminisce
REMINISCE
WHEN I SIT BACK AND REMINISCE
ABOUT THE FIRST MAN WHO CLAIMED
LOVE AND ENDLESS BLISS
I HEARD HIM SAY WITHOUT DELAY
DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES
AS HE LAID ME DOWN
FOR THE FIRST TIME
WHISPERING WORDS IN MY EAR
THAT HE WANTS TO BE MINE
PROCLAIMING TO ME IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY
I HEARD HIM SAY AS IF IT WAS TODAY
DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR DAYS
OH, HOW HE PROFESSED HE LOVED ME
ACKNOWLEDGING I'LL LOVE WILL
ENDURE UNTIL ETERNITY
THEN I HEARD HIM SAY TO MY DISMAY
DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES
THEN ONE, TWO THREE BEFORE
YOU COULD SAY FOUR
HE HAD ZIPPED UP HIS PANTS
AND WAS OUT THE DOOR
HIS WORDS STAY WITH ME FOREVER MORE
DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES!
