Put you head on my shoulder, hold my hand
There is something you wanna tell me, tell you lovin' man
What? you found a new love, are you sure he's what you want?
Well, remember my little baby, remember my last words

That i knew you first, and i'll know you last
You're gonna run right back to me
Oh, i loved you first, and i'll love you last
That's the way it's gonna be

Why did you go and leave me?
How could you hurt me so?
When you knew there'd never be another
Who could set my heart a-blow

Oh, i knew you first, and i'll know you last
You're gonna run right back to me
Oh, i loved you first, and i'll love you last
That's the way it's got to be

Why did you go and leave me?
How could you hurt me so?
When you knew there'd never be another
Who could set this heart a-blow

Oh, i knew you first, and i'll know you last
Gee, honey it's great to have you back
Oh, i love you now, and i always will
Until time stands still

Knowing you first, oh-oh
Knowing you last, oh-oh-oh-oh
Loving you first, oh-oh
Loving you last, oh-oh-oh-oh
