Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
What fate is going to blow
Your way, just hope that it feels right
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it comes and it goes
You take it ever so slow
And then you lose it
Then it flows right to you
[Verse 3]
So we rely on the past
And special moments that last
Were they as tender as we dare to remember?
[Verse 4]
Such a fine time as this
What could equal the bliss?
The thrill of the first kiss
It'll blow right to you
[Chorus]
It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time (Never as good as the first time)
[Verse 5]
Good times, they come and they go
Never going to know
It's like the weather
One day chicken, next day feathers
[Verse 6]
The rose we remember
The thorns we forget
We'd love and leave
We never spend a minute on regret
[Verse 7]
It is a possibility
The more we know, the less we see
Second time is not quite what it seems
Natural as the way we came to be
The second time won't live up to the dream
[Chorus]
It's never as good as the first time (Never as good as the first time)
Never as good as the first time (Never as good as the first time)
[Bridge]
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
As natural as the way we came to be
The second time is not quite what it seems
[Chorus]
Ooh
It's never, ooh, as good as the first time (As the first time)
Never as good as the first time (First time)
[Bridge]
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seems
[Outro]
It's never as good as the first time
As the first time
As good as the first time
