Lyrics of 'First Time' by Fiction Plane

There is no time quite like the first time
All quivering and shaking at your knees
The ladies dance like silver silhouettes
The gentlemen keep practicing their sleeves

They will say whatever they must
To get what they need
The girls say whatever they must
To get you to leave

She'll say she's not ready to be with a man
She'll say she's from russia, and she don't understand
But don't you believe her, it's part of the game
She'll say there's a boyfriend, and she'll make up his name
She'll call you a creep, but don't feel no shame

There is no crime quite like the first crime
That first stolen heart is different than the first
As she bats her eyes like silver butterflies
You make false promises with each beat of her chest

You say whatever you must
To get what you need
She'll fight with some of her heart
To get you to leave

She'll say that's she's drawing a line in the sand
But she'll acquiesce and allow you her hand
Your bodies are changing, alive with a thrill
This girl makes you busy, you cannot be still
You want to go further, you pray that she will

But if you say love, don't betray love
That's more dangerous than you believe

There is no lie quite like the first goodbye
You let her down as gently as a breeze
You shield her eyes from the silver light
You pray you'll not wake her from her dreams

You say whatever you must
To get away clean

You say there's a war in a faraway land
And the navy has sent you to the sea of japan
And they've packed up your suitcase, you have to leave now
To fight for your country, to die for your crown
You hold back the tears 'cause you feel you might drown

You say what you must
You say what you must
You say what you must

But if you say love, don't betray love
That's more dangerous than you believe
