I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex feind

The best ever first lines of a song are....
"The first time, I saw your face,

and the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
to my endless night (my love)"

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises . . .
