From the recording Lucky 13
Lyrics
Maggie Denise, there is no one like you
You're a color no painter can find
You can't be mixed on a pallet
No god could create you
I want to be the first in line
I want to be the first in line
A thousand men are in love with you
I can see that, I'm not blind
That's why I camped out for three days on your doorstep
Just to be the first in line
Just to be the first in line
I know who I am
I'm a good man
As sure as the sun in that ordinary sky
But I would break any law
I would shame myself
Just to be the first in line
I want to be the first in line
I know I should be aloof
Barely caught in the corner of your eye
I know that is the honest truth
But I want to believe in the lie
I want you to feel me around you like water
Some curious relic you want to find
I want you to dig for me
Hold me up in the light to see
Make me the first in line
I need to be the first in line
A thousand men are in love with you
I can see that, I'm not blind
That's why I camped out for three days on your doorstep
Just to be the first in line
Just to be the first in line
There is nothing else you will ever need
Make me your food and your wine
Your shade, your comfort,
A truth to rely on
Always the first in line
I must be the first in line
I will be there
Always the first in line
