First Time We Fall in Love

How well I remember my very first love affair
Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared
But we're too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared
For the first time we fall in love

We think it's forever, the first time we fall in love
We always treasure, the first time we fall in love
Those other romances come and go but we cherish the memory of
The first time we fall in love

First love can be such a strain
It can rule your head, it can bring you pain
And when it ends it seems such a shame
The first time we fall in love
Can make you sad, it can keep you awake
It can drive you mad
People say you're too young and it's only a fad
The first time we fall in love
The first time we fall in love

The first time I fell out of love, it knocked me through the floor
My world came crashing down, it shook me to the core
I was unprepared 'cause I was only a kid
And I was much too young and I wasn't equipped
For the emotional pressures and stresses of it

But oh, I'll never forget
The way that she looked the first time we met
Time goes by but we never forget
The first time we fall in love

Love can be exciting, it can be a bloody bore
Love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore
Love can be like a dull routine
It can run you around until you're out of steam
It can treat you well, it can treat you mean

Love can mess you around
Love can pick you up, it can bring you down
But they'll never know the feelings we show
The first time we fall in love
The first time we fall in love

Love, love, love
