"The First Time" lyrics

"The First Time"

Somebody told me they saw you with her
They even called out my name
Thinking I was that girl
She wears the same kind of make up
And the same colour hair
Well she’s a wannabe me
And she’s even got it down to the clothes I wear

So you can try to replace me
And start all over again
But what you just don’t understand

You had it right the first time
But you weren’t satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
‘Cause there’ll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time

She can wear the same perfume
And she can hold your hand
Yeah she can make you smile but not the way I can
I hope she doesn’t get used to being so attached
‘Cause she will never be me, no
So it just won’t last

So you can try to upgrade me
Yeah you can dream like that
But you might as well face the fact

You had it right the first time
But you weren’t satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
‘Cause there’ll never be no better me to find

You can keep searching around
Thinking that we’re all the same
But I’ll always be the best you found
And that’s one thing that just won’t change
‘Cause there’ll never be no better me, oh no
No, there’ll never be no better me, oh no

You had it right the first time
But you weren’t satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
‘Cause there’ll never be no better me to find
No, ‘cause there’ll never be no better me to find
And now I gotta tell you
There’ll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time
