The First Time Never Gets the Job Done

Adam needed a mate for the plan to succeed.

And no more mistakes with ... testosterone."

But the Pope lashed out with the fury he was feeling.
"Do it over, you fool! Are you some kind of joker?
The Lord is not pleased by Dogs Playing Poker!"

Give it all you got - it's still a trial run.
You can drive yourself crazy or chill and have fun.

You're my first romance, but now it's time that it ends.
It's me not you; I hope that we'll stay friends.
You've taught me so much, you sexy go-getter.
You gave me the confidence to find someone better!

Hey now don't throw a fit. You know we had fun.
C'mon, just take a breath ... Put down the gun!
I hope reincarnation's got me down for a re-run!
My first life has been too short!
I didn't get the job done!
