Ooh-ooh-ooh
First time, first love
Oh, what feeling is this
Electricity flows
With the very first kiss
Like a break in the clouds and the first ray of sun
I can feel it inside something new has begun
And it's taking control of my body and mind
It began when I heard I love you
For the very first time
For the very first time
This life, this love
Oh, the sweetness I feel
So mysterious yet
So incredibly real
It's an uncharted sea, it's an unopened door
But you gotta reach out and you gotta explore
Even though you're not sure till the moment to arrives
There he is and you know you're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
And baby when I met you
Every feeling I had was new
I don't think there are words
To describe the sensation
No, no, no, no
It's an uncharted sea, it's an unopened door
But you gotta reach out and you gotta explore
And when something happens that words can't define
Only then do you know you're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
For the very first time
