Lyrics for The First Time

I have a lover A lover like no other She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul And she teach me how to sing Shows me colours when there's none to see Gives me hope when I can't believe That for the first time I feel loved I have a brother When I'm a brother in need I spend my whole time running He spends his running after me When I feel myself going down I just call and he comes around But for the first time I feel loved My father is a rich man He wears a rich man's cloak He gave me the keys to his kingdom coming Gave me a cup of gold He said I have many mansions And there are many rooms to see But I left by the back door And I threw away the key And I threw away the key Yeah, I threw away the key Yeah, I threw away the key For the first time For the first time For the first time I feel love
