Girl, it should be me driving to your house
Knocking on your door and kissing you on the mouth
Holding on your hand, dancing in the dark
'Cause I was the only one who loved you from the start

But now when I see you with him
It tears my world apart, because

I've been waiting all this time to finally say it
But now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first

Had my chances, I coulda been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most, girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first (loved you first, loved you first)

Girl, it should be me calling on your phone
Saying you're the one and that I'll never let you go
I never understood what love was really like
But I felt it for the first time looking in your eyes

But now when I see you with him
My whole world falls apart, because

I've been waiting all this time to finally say it
And now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first

Had my chances, I coulda been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most, girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first

First touch (first touch), the first kiss (the first kiss)
First girl who made me feel like this (like this)
Heartbreak (heartbreak), it's killing me
I loved you first, why can't you see?

I've been waiting all this time to finally say it
But now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first

Had my chances, I coulda been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most, girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first

Baby, I loved you first
Baby, I loved you first, oh, yeah
Baby I loved you first
