Dave Davies - The First Time We Fall in Love lyrics

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 till you're out of steam It can treat you well, it can treat you mean Love can mess you around I 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
