My mom and dad both sayI must be crazy to be this infatuatedBut I know you knowWe got something special never felt beforeYou get me going just looking at youAnd the feeling's not hard to recognise soAlright I'll come out in the open with itWill you walk out with me?Cos you're the first girl I've ever lovedTell me do you feel the same wayWell I'll show you I'm not like all the restCos I know who I amYour skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like starsYou're just like a picture book standing thereBut I can't go onNo, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way that I doI'll be so careful I'll hold you like chinaI'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like chinaYou won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china'Cos I know it's your first timeYour mum and dad don't like meAnd they tell me every time I call around to see youI don't know whyCos I always straighten my tie and comb my hairI know your brother thinks thatI'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of townI know he's got me wrongBecause I'm really not like that, I'll tell you whyYou're the first girl I've ever lovedTell me do you feel the same wayWell I'll show you I'm not like all the rest'Cos I know who I amI remember the very first time I held your handAnd that was the last time you were so close to meBut I can't go onNo, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I doI'll be so careful I'll hold you like chinaI'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like chinaYou won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china'Cos I know it's your first timeI know you know and now I want to, I want to tell everybodyI know you know and now I want them all to seeRepeat to fade
