The First Time

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I feel I have to tell you

The way it's lately been

Seems that I've been takin'

What I thought was givin' in

But now those times are over

I've counted out my friends

For the first time in a long time

I can be myself again

For the first time (First time in a long time)

Oh, the first time (First time in a long time)

I can be myself (Oooh)

Oh

It came as I was walkin'

Through the streets of tinsel town

Didn't know just where I'd been

But, surely, I'd gone down

Well, then I saw the answer

And found my own way here

For the first time in a long time

I can see my future clear

For the first time (First time in a long time)

Oh, the first time (First time in a long time)

I can see myself (Oooh)

Don't have to try no more

No more, child, no

First time in a long time

First time in a long time

Oooh

In all the time I've taken

For everybody else

Thought I gave it all away

Kept nothin' for myself

But I have been mistaken

You were with me all the while

For the first time in a long time

I can raise my face and smile

For the first time in a long time

First time in a long time

Oooh (Yes, I can be myself)

First time in a long time (First time)

First time in a long time

I can be myself

Be myself, be myself

It feels so good now

First time in a long time (First time)

First time in a long time (Ooh, yeah)

Oooh

First time in a long time

First time in a long time

Oooh (Yes, I can be myself)

First time in a long time

First time in a long time

Oooh

First time in a long time

First time in a long time

Oooh (I can be myself)

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
