on the first night I ever saw you
  from the first time I ever felt your skin
  I figured things a little strange
  as I began to rearrange myself
  when the first sunlight started to appear
  I would turn to see if you were here
  
  I harbored not a single doubt
  just had to find what you're about inside
  I couldn't seem to say good night
  until I heard you say alright to me
  
  excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
  it's [bad word] without you here
  and all my dreams are full of fear
  but there's honesty anyway
  
  the first time I knew I made a choice
  is when I heard the low-down
  sullen sound of your voice
  
  I harbored not a single doubt
  just had to find what you're about inside
  I couldn't seem to say good night
  until I heard you say alright to me
  
  excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
  it's [bad word] without you here
  and all my dreams are full of fear
  but there's honesty anyway
  
  just had to let you know
  feels like [bad word] when you're not home
  and I sleep alone
  but there's honesty anyway
