When I first met your mother,
She walked in with my girlfriend,
my foolish girlfriend brought her there
She looked so pretty and dangerous
As she brushed back her hair
And I was not the only one
Taking notice in that bar
When I first met your mom
When I first kissed your mother
we walked through the Petroi Gardens
we could not stop our kissing
Then she whispered it, my dear,
soon you'll get to know me
when I first kissed your mind
Love like a bird flies away,
you'll find out the only way
Love like a bird flies away
When we first laid together
inside her father's house
as we held each other close
and kicked me out of there
I walked two miles in Melbourne rain
I couldn't have walked anymore
When I first loved your mind
Love like a bird flies away
Love like a bird flies away
Love like a bird flies away
You'll find out you'll land away
Ooh, love like a bird flies away
