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...
