Lyrics
1) I can't be your first love
As I can't go back in time
Your first love was a special love, I know
But first loves rarely last
Even though we wish they would
They help, through the pain they bring, to grow
2) When you think about your first love
Back when you were very young
You thought that love would last your whole life through
But things must change as time rolls on
And often for the best
That first love lost has shaped and strengthened you
Chorus
So if I can't be the first love
Who brought shivers to your soul
The first love you imagined to be true
Then let me be the last love
You'll ever want or need
Believe me when I say it
I love you
