First Love [Dutch translation]

Ev'ry one can see --

There's a change in me.

They all say I'm not the same

Kid I used to be…

Don't go out and play,

I just dream all day.

They don't know what's wrong with me

And I'm too shy to say.

It's my first love,

What I'm dreamin' of,

When I go to bed,

When I lay my head

upon my pillow…

Don't know what to do…

My first love…

Thinks that I'm too young,

He doesn't even know…

Wish that I could show him

What I'm feelin',

'cause I'm feelin' my first love.

…

Mirror on the wall,

Does he care at all?

Will he ever notice me?

Could he ever fall?..

Tell me teddy bear,

Why love is so unfair?

Will I ever find a way,

An answer to my prayer?

For my first love.

What I'm dreamin' of,

When I go to bed,

When I lay my head

upon my pillow…

Don't know what to do…

My first love

Thinks that I'm too young,

He doesn't even know.

Wish that I could show him

What I'm feelin',

'cause I'm feelin' my first love.

My first love.
