Phil Collins For The First Time Lyrics

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work,
But man these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is a God's test,
Someone help us cos we're doing our best

Trying to make it work,
But man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while yeah

We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Uuuuuhhhh
Uuuuuhhhh
Uuuuuhhhh

She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
And we both know how
How we are gonna make it work when it hurts, When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt

Trying to make it work,
But man these times are hard

But we are gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while
A while yeah

We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Uuuuuhhhh
Uuuuuhhhh
Uuuuuhhhh

Yeah drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
Smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Uuuuuhhhh
For the first time
Uuuuuhhhh
For the first time
Uuuuuhhhh
For the first time
Uuuuuhhhh
For the first time

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Ah these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
