I know I shouldn't think that it could happen
To you and I because I love you so
But if you should ever find that you don't love me
Darling, let me be the first to know.

If you should ever change your mind about me
Be the one to come and tell me so
Please don't let me hear it from another
Darling, let me be the first to know.

I've seen it happen to so many others
They seem to find their love has grown cold
But they don't have a heart to tell each other
Darling, let me be the first to know.

It would break my heart to find that you don't love me
It would be so hard for me to let you go
But it you should ever find you love another
Darling, let me be the first to know...
