Your First True Love

You say you're lonely and you're on a quest
Lookin' for the one, lookin' 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 dyin' 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 always bouncing from mate to mate
Could it be it's all about the thrill of the chase
Do you ever stop to think that you're tempting fate?

Maybe all you want is a temporary fix
Just long enough to get a few kicks
Burnin' 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 dyin' 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
