I was the first to hold you in my arms so tight I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.
I was the first to take advantage of your youth I was the first to whisper love words for the truth I was the first to break your heart in two and yet I was the first and I know that you can't forget.
He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand I was the first to ever touch you as a man I was the first to take your innocence then run I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.
We've already done the things that he's got on his mind Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...
