Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could pretend that I was okay
I'd wind around the parties, drink in hand
I could pretend when you went away
That I had changed and I no longer hear the band
[Verse 2]
I won't lie, found a love, I had to rediscover
I was emotionally scarred, we could not get it away
There are times when it breaks and I feel amazed
[Verse 3]
Feels just like the first time when you kissed me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love and
It's hard to deny what is happening, although we talk, talk, talk
On the telephone, we laugh, laugh, laugh at the things we know
[Verse 4]
I've been the soldier for much too long
I'd willingly surrender all my arms
If you decided you won't be long, I'd wait here patient for you
Look for you every morning
[Verse 5]
Had this love, there were sparks, we tried to push it on but
I was afraid of the dark, we could not get it away
Never mind what they say, I would feel the same
[Verse 6]
Feels just like the first time when you kissed me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love and
It's hard to describe what is happening, although we talk, talk, talk
On the telephone, we laugh, laugh, laugh at the things we know
[Verse 7]
Ooh (Feels just like the first time)
If I could choose, then my heart would be in it, my charms would be in it
My love would be in it
[Verse 8]
I know you hangin' on the telephone with it (Feels just like the first time)
Know you knew that I was comin' for ya
Boy, you still won't give me lovin' so, oh (Feels just like the first time)
[Verse 9]
Feels just like the first time when you kissed me, my lover
Angels in the sky will descend on our love and
It's hard to deny what is happening, although we talk, talk, talk
On the telephone, we laugh, laugh, laugh at the thing we know
