the first time we fall in love

Singer:kinks, the

how well i remember my very first love affair. those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared. but we're too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared

for the first time we fall in love. we think it's forever

the first time we fall in love. we always treasure the first time we fall in love. those other romances come and go

but we cherish the memory of

the first time we fall in love. first love can be such a strain. it can rule your head

it can bring you pain

and when it ends it seems such a shame. the first time we fall in love

can make you sad

it can keep you awake

it can drive you mad. people say you're too young and it's only a fad

the first time we fall in love. the first time we fall in love. the first time i fell out of love

it knocked me through the floor. my world came crashing down

it shook me to the core. i was unprepared 'cos i was only a kid

and i was much too young and i wasn't equipped

for the emotional pressures and stresses of it. but oh

i'll never forget

the way that she looked the first time we met. time goes by but we never forget

the first time we fall in love. love can be exciting

it can be a bloody bore. love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore. love can be like a dull routine

it can run you around until you're out of steam. it can treat you well

it can treat you mean

love can mess you around

love can pick you up

it can bring you down. but they'll never know

the feelings we show

the first time we fall in love. the first time we fall in love.
