Lyrics for Let Me Be the First to Know

Like one more time if our love ever grows cold And this new thrill somehow grows old Oh, when forever for us is no more Don't tell our friends, baby Let me be the first to know When you no longer care When my dreams, you no longer share Ah, ah-ah, tell me before it starts to show You don't have to be ashamed Just let me be the first to know You love me now, I feel kind of sure Kind of sure somehow But in this game of romance Forever, forever is a million to one chance Ooh Lord, when my kiss becomes an everyday thing And my voice becomes just a busy ring Let me put on my disguise before you go break my heart But leave my pride I said,"Please, please, please" Lord, Lord, Lord, please, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me be the first to know
