Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen you smile more than I thought you would
And I smiled back a little more than I should
And lately at night, while he's sound asleep
I'm thinking things that I shouldn't think
[Chorus]
You're the first time I've thought about leaving
And I really don't know what I'll do
You're the first time I've thought about leaving him
I've never known someone like you
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wait when I really should go
Lord only knows what I do that for
And when I get home and he holds me close
I try not to think what I'm thinking most
[Chorus]
You're the first time I've thought about leaving
And I really don't know what I'll do
You're the first time I've thought about leaving him
I've never known someone like you
[Outro]
I've never known someone like you
