The first time we met
You were walking down the street
A copy of "Blonde On Blonde"
Under your arm
The first time we met
You were lost in your overcoat
A face that couldn't care less

"Nothing is something
No one can do without"
You told me but later
Asked to see me again
The first time we met
You were taking your coffee black
Oh oh oh unpleasant surprise

The first time

Last time we met
You were locked up in some suburb
A cynic lost in his critical views
You told me that lately you are
Taking things seriously
Oh oh oh unpleasant surprise

"Nothing's still something
No one can do without"
You told me but later asked
To see me again
Your friends have all settled
Some even made the grade
Oh oh oh unpleasant surprise
Oh oh oh unpleasant surprise
The first time
The first time
Finally you got to face it
The first time
Finally you got to face it
