Life turned to love

Now love is about to turn into hate

You ask me, "Can we try it again"

Boy, let me tell you somethin'

Our road has come to an end, huh

First come, first serve

Hey, you don't want my love

So I'm givin' it away

First come, first serve

And if it hurts your pride

Boy, you get what you deserve

Boy, tell the truth, did it ever occur to you

That I have wants, desires and needs too

While you were out there roamin' and homin' the streets

I sat home lonely, night after night, in desperate need, oh

First come, first serve

Hey, you don't want my love

So I'm givin' it away

First come, first serve

And if it hurts your pride

Boy, you get what you deserve, oh

Boy, I want you to know that I'm a-through talkin'

So I can get my things and start walkin'

Conversation ain't what, what I need, no, no

In case you want to know I'm takin' it to the streets, oh

First come, first serve, tell the truth, boy

You don't want my love

So I'm givin' it away

First come, first serve

And if it hurts your pride

Boy, you get what you deserve, uh-huh

First come, first serve, ain't it true

You don't want my love

So I'm givin' it away

First come, first serve

And if it hurts your pride

Boy, you get what you deserve, oh

First come, first serve

Hey, you don't want my love

So I'm givin' it away

First come, first serve

And if it hurts your pride

Boy, you get what you deserve, I'm movin' on

First come, first serve

I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on

Bye-bye, baby

First come, first serve
