for the first time in forever

the window is open

so's that door

i didn't know they did that anymore

who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?

for years i've roamed these empty halls

why have a ballroom with no balls?

finally they're opening up the gates

there'll be actual real live people

it'll be totally strange

but wow

am i so ready for this change?

'cause for the first time in forever

there'll be music

there'll be light

for the first time in forever

i'll be dancing through the night

don't know if i'm elated or gassy

but i'm somewhere in that zone

'cause for the first time in forever

i won't be alone

i can't wait to meet everyone!

what if i meet. the one?

tonight imagine me gown and all

fetchingly draped against the wall

the picture of sophisticated grace

ooh! i suddenly see him standing there

a beautiful stranger

tall and fair

i wanna stuff some chocolate in my face

but then we laugh and talk all evening

which is totally bizarre

nothing like the life i've led so far

for the first time in forever

there'll be magic

there'll be fun

for the first time in forever

i could be noticed by someone

and i know it is totally crazy

to dream i'd find romance

but for the first time in forever

at least i've got a chance

don't let them in

don't let them see

be the good girl you always have to be

conceal

don't feel

put on a show

make one wrong move and everyone will know

but it's only for today

it's only for today

it's agony to wait

it's agony to wait

tell the guards to open up the gate

the gate

for the first time in forever

don't let them in

don't let them see

i'm getting what i'm dreaming of

be the good girl you always have to be

a chance to change my lonely world

conceal

a chance to find true love

conceal

don't feel

don't let them know

i know it all ends tomorrow

so it has to be today

'cause for the first time in forever

for the first time in forever

nothing's in my way!

ooh!
