You say you’re lonely and you’re on a quest

Lookin’ for the one, lookin’ for the best

But you don't understand that finding love is a test

Sometimes you’ve gotta fail before you taste success

You think you’ve been in love a time or two

But yet you’re still looking for someone new

And you wonder how you’re gonna know when it’s true

Will you ever find the one who’s meant for you

Now you ask me how you’ll know when love is real

And you’re dyin’ to know how it’ll make you feel   (what I know is)

Your first true love is the one you still have now

All you have to do is believe, there’s no need to wonder why or how

Your first true love grows stronger every day

You may not ever understand it, but you’re thankful in every way

You feel it in your soul, and you know it’s there to stay

Your first true love is the one you've got today

So you don’t know how it went on your latest date

Or why you’re always bouncing from mate to mate

Could it be it’s all about the thrill of the chase

Do you ever stop to think that you’re tempting fate?

Maybe all you want is a temporary fix

Just long enough to get a few kicks

Burnin’ fast like a candle wick

Then you’re sad that it was over too quick

Now you ask me how you’ll know when love is real

And you’re dyin’ to know how it’ll make you feel   (what I know is)

Your first true love is the one you still have now

All you have to do is believe, there’s no need to wonder why or how

Your first true love grows stronger every day

You may not ever understand it, but you’re thankful in every way

You feel it in your soul, and you know it’s there to stay

Your first true love is the one you've got today

Your first true love is the one you've got today
