You say you're lonely
and you're on a quest
Looking for the one, looking for the best
But you don't understand
that finding love is a test
Sometimes you've gotta fail
before you taste success
You think you've been
in love a time or two
But yet you're still looking
for someone new
And you wonder how you're
gonna know when it's true
Will you ever find the one
who's meant for you?
Now you ask me how you'll know
when love is real
And you're dying to know
how it'll make you feel
What I know is your first true love
is the one you still have now
All you have to do is believe
There's no need to wonder why or how
Your first true love
grows stronger every day
You may not ever understand it
But you're thankful in every way
You feel it in your soul
And you know it's there to stay
Your first true love
is the one you've got today
So you don't know how it went
on your latest date
Or why you're still bouncing
from mate to mate
Could it be it's all about
the thrill of the chase?
Have you ever stopped to think
that you're tempting fate?
Maybe all you want is a temporary fix
Just long enough to get a few kicks
Burning fast like a candle wick
Then you're sad that it
was over too quick
Now you ask me how you'll know
when love is real
And you're dying to know
how it'll make you feel
What I know is, your first true love
is the one you still have now.
All you have to do is believe.
There's no need to
wonder why or how.
Your first true love
grows stronger every day.
You may not ever understand it
But you're thankful in every way
You feel it in your soul
And you know it's there to stay
Your first true love
is the one you've got today
Your first true love
is the one you've got today
