Today is the first day, as they have always been.
And today, dear you, you will begin to love yourself with joy.

Oh, stay near my baby,
I know I’m not an easy ride.
But I’d do everything,
To keep you,
To keep you by my side.

I may not yet have found the one,
May spend my whole life tryin’ [bad word] 
But I can’t let the good thing die
I’m gonna fight for you tonight.

Oh, stay near my baby,
I know I’m not an easy ride.
But I’d do everything,
To keep you,
To keep you by my side.
