[Verse 1]
Back then, there were no others
All I knew, true beginners
We had a gift: the perfect present
No such a thing I'm taught

[Chorus]
It's tense for me
Can't live within a memory
Proud woman, I dare not come passively
Every fella deserves his dignity

[Chorus]
It's tense for me
Can't live within a memory
Proud woman, I dare not come passively
Every fella deserves his dignity

[Post-Chorus]

Proud woman, now don't go soft on me
Where's that famous old dexterity?
[Bridge]
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense for me
It's tense, it's tense
It's tense for me

[Outro]
It's tense for me
Can't live within a memory
Proud woman, I dare not come passively
Every fella deserves
