lirik lagu nancy dupree - first love
[spoken word]
you all are certainly a happy bunch (haha!)
and that’s grand, i like happy people, i really do
give yourselves another round of applause
oh yes, bless your hearts
uh, may i see your hand if you know anything about love?
some hands didn’t go up, some hands didn’t go up
now come on now, haha!
all right, we’re gonna talk about love, y’all
yes we are, it’s all right
and, uh, it’s a sad kind of love
and it’s a kind of a sad experience
but, uh, to kind of get you in the mood for it
sometimes i feel
like a motherless child
sometimes i feel
like a motherless child
sometimеs i feel
like a motherless child
lovе makes the world go round, so they say
what keeps your world going round
when you didn’t get no love way back when
way back there, when you didn’t know nothing
when you didn’t know nothing about nothing
except sleeping and getting fed
and crying because you was wet, or because your diaper was full
and even though you didn’t know nothing and couldn’t say nothing
you was already asking that question
“do you love me?”
“i mean, do you love me?”
“do you love me?”
and you knew the answer even then
you could tell by the eyes, by the voice
by the feel of the hands when they touched you
and if the answer was no
oh, precious god
that’s when death began
the death that was to become your shadow
your heartbeat, your smell
and you can believe me when i tell you
that the absence of love is death
just as sure as the sun rises in the east
and sets in the west
the absence of love is death
and every hour of your life from then on
is turned into a war between you and death
and you fight it
fighting is easy in the beginning
you see, because you figure if you’re polite and obedient
and you don’t get your clothes too dirty
she won’t have no choice but to love you
and when that don’t work
you become what they call an overachiever
what that means is
your report card has nothing but a’s and b’s
it means you’ll always learn the longest speech for easter sunday
it means you become head majorette
it means you win a scholarship to graduate school
and when the answer is still no
you spend money
you spend money on sewing machines, and car payments
and water and light bills
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
and when even that don’t work
you run from her, yourself, and everybody else
and you look for a hiding place
you don’t know it, but that’s what you’re looking for
but even when it looks like you might have found one
you start running again
because by now, you can’t believe, y’all
you can’t believe in yourself
and you can’t believe in n0body else
there are moments, of course
but that’s just what they are, moments
and in those moments
you feel so peaceful, you feel so free
you feel like you know how to get anything you want
but like i said
moments
you’re lucky if you have three in 40 years
so where does all this leave you
i’ll tell you where it leaves you
it leaves you up the creek without a paddle
and the waters of death take you wherever they please
it leaves you locked in a dark room
and your eyes forget how to deal with light
it leaves you frozen, with your knees up under your chin
and both thumbs in your mouth
and even though you’re constantly moving
you’re going nowhere
and only god can help you
amen, sister
