The First Time

I have a lover, a lover like no other

She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul

And she teach me how to sing

Shows me colors when there's none to see

Gives me hope when I can't believe

That for the first time, I feel loved

I have a brother, when I'm a brother in need

I spend my whole time runnin'

He spends his runnin' after me

When I feel myself goin' down

I just call, and he comes around

But for the first time, I feel loved

My father is a rich man

He wears a rich man's cloak

Gave me the keys to his Kingdom comin'

Gave me a cup of gold

He said, "I have many mansions

And there are many rooms to see"

But I left by the back door

And I threw away the key

And I threw away the key

Yeah, I threw away the key

Yeah, I threw away the key

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

I feel loved
