I've gotta go, and it's not because I don't love you Or anything like that But the reason is just plain and simple You see, girl, I'm not in love with you I never had it and I guess I never will Because you see, I can't get over my first love [Chorus] You've been so kind to treat me so fine And I know, for me, you'll do anything But I've made up my mind, I'm just wasting your time 'Cause I'm yet to get over my first love You'll meet someone that will pay Attention to you everyday And I might as well be true to myself 'Cause I'll never get used to no one else [Chorus] I thought that she was my best friend I don't know where we went wrong Will I ever feel love again Or will I always be singing this same song? [Chorus] I can't get over my first love Well, well, well, well, well, well Ooh, I can't get over you, baby No, no, no, no, no, oh yeah Oh, come back, you've been so kind to treat me so fine And I know, I know, for me, you'll do anything But I've made up my mind, I'm just wasting your time 'Cause I'm yet to get over my first love, oh Get away from that door I've gotta walk on through that door I'm gonna miss my baby Oh baby, I've made up my mind 'Cause I, I can't take this no more, baby To get over my first love Oh, you, you've really been so kind You shouldn't have been so fine, baby I should have never ever been here with you this long 'Cause you know I, I can't forget my baby No, no, no, I can't forget my baby
