Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
[Verse 2]
I was beat, incomplete
I've been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
[Chorus]
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats next to mine
[Verse 3]
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last
[Verse 4]
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah, you make me bold
Oh, your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
[Chorus]
Like a virgin, hey
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine
[Bridge]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, ah
Whoa-oh
[Verse 5]
You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide
[Chorus]
Like a virgin, hey
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine
[Outro]
Like a virgin
Ooh-ooh, like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me
And your heart beats
And you love me
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Yeah
Can't you hear my heart beat?
For the very first time
