I've got to be honest with you tonight
I want this to start off clean and right
And what I have got to say
Might make you turn and walk away
But I've got to take the chance
I want this to be my last romance
But this is not the first time
you are not the first man to love me
This is not the first time
you are not the only man
I've loved in my life
But I have this feeling
and I'm sure I'm right
you could be the only man
you could me the last man in my life,
in my life
Don't ask me to tell you about it
they seem just like a dream
and the girl in the dream
isn't me
but I was lonely and confused, yes and
I was afraid of the night
And I needed somebody so bad
to make me right
So, this is not the first time
you are not the first man to love me
this is not the first time,
you are not the only man I've loved in my life
But I have this feeling
and I'm sure I'm right
you could be the only man
you could me the last man in my life,
If I had known you then
things might have been different somehow
Will it make the difference, Will it be the difference
That I know you now
But this is not the first time
you are not the first man to love me
This is not the first time
you are not the only man I've loved in my life
This is not the first time
you are not the first man to love me
This is not the first time
you are not the only man I've loved
This is not the first time, Oh,
This is not the first time, Ho-Ho, Yeah
This is not the first time,
you are not the only man I've loved
