Rem - I Had You First Lyrics

I Had You First Song Lyrics
I Had You First by R.E.M. (Rose Tattoo)
You said you needed freedom and love
It was possession that just ain't cool
What I want is good, good for the goose
And oh so good for the fool

You knew I'd just been down
You said it really hurts
When I was down and begging for money
You rubbed my face in the dirt

Talking 'bout sighin' cryin' teasin' and beggin'
Makin' everyone cry
Talking 'bout heavin' sweatin' takin' and gettin'
Milkin' him till he's dry

I had you first, I had you first
No matter how it hurts, I had you first
I showed you how, I showed you how
Tell me who's showing you now
I don't care who's showing you now

Said you didn't want love you needed lovin'
So we wouldn't have the trouble ?
I was lookin' for physical attraction
So that was quite alright by me

Said you wanted wide open spaces
A brand new sea some new faces
But late last night you caught me almost there
With a juicy new blonde pet

Talking 'bout sighin' cryin' teasin' and beggin'
Makin' everyone cry
Talking 'bout heavin' sweatin' takin' and gettin'
Milkin' him till he's dry

I had you first, I had you first
No matter how it hurts, I had you first
I showed you how, I showed you how
A-ha, oh, I don't care who is showing you now

Don't ask me how a woman thinks
There's no one alive to tell
She's got a big size sense of timing and fear
And that's much more than hell

She says I understand and I'll be good
I know that what you're doing is right
And when I'm minutes away, working on the road
Logic keeps her warm at night

Talking 'bout sighin' cryin' teasin' and beggin'
Makin' everyone cry
Talking 'bout heavin' sweatin' takin' and gettin'
Milkin' him till he's dry

I had you first, I had you first
No matter how it hurts, I had you first
I showed you how, I showed you how
No matter who is showing you now

A-ha, I had you first
Ha ha
