"The First Time" lyrics

"The First Time"

I have a lover, a lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing

Shows me colours when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time I feel love

I have a brother, when I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me

I feel myself goin' down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time I feel love

My father is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak
He gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold

He said "I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see."
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key

For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, I feel love
