First One to Go

It won't be but a week or two
You'll be out loving somebody new
Must have happened well a hundred times before
I can see you've been spreading yourself thin too
It's a lonely state we've been driving through
Don't get up, I can find my own way out the door

I can see you are an angel
Whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
'Cause the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Is one that you know you'd never hold very long
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go

You may have thirty lovers behind you
I can see you, but I sure can't find you
Seems like you would have found your own self by now
Yeah, but late at night, your own lovers come back
Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back
Voices of your memories crying out loud

I can see you are an angel
Whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
'Cause the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Is one that you know you'd never hold very long
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go
Yeah, I'm not the first one

Well, the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Is one that you know you'd never hold very long
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go

Well, babe, I gotta go
Babe, I gotta go
Well, babe, I gotta go
Well, babe, I gotta go
Oh, babe, I gotta go
Babe, I gotta go
