Nikka Costa - My First Love lyrics

There's a touch upon my lips

Left by memory's fingertips

I still hear her voice

When there's no sound

There's a touch upon my skin

Left whenshe went back to him

All the rest has gone

She's not around

When I saw her first

It was lust my friend

Thought it would burn

Then it would end

But I lost my old philosophy

Now I believed in love

Well the months went by and my love grew strong

Thought she felt the same but I was wrong

She held my old philosophy

Now I'm destroyed by love

There's a touch, etc...

Well I still believed that I would win

Cos I was a better man than him

She held the new philosophy

Now she believed in love

But the love she felt was not for me

Said she would have to set me free

Now I know there's no philosophy

That can't be destroyed by love

There's a touch, etc...
