My mom and daddy both say

I must be crazy to be this infatuated

But I know you know

We got something special never felt before

You get me going just looking at you

And the feeling's not hard to recognise so

Alright I'll come out in the open with it

Will you walk out with me 
D5                             A5
Cos you're the first girl I've ever loved
E5                           F5
Tell me do you feel the same way
A5                         E5                 F5
Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest
Bb5               A5
Cos I know who I am
A5
Your skin is smooth as silk 
              G5
and your eyes like stars
A5                              E5
You're just like a picture book standing there
      A5
But I can't go on No, I can't go on 
         G5                       F5
thinking you don't feel the same way that I do
A5      G5                       A5
I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china
            G5                         A5
I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china
    G5                                 A5
You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china
G5           D5                    G5
'Cos I know it's your first time

Your mum and dad don't like me

And they tell me every time I call around to see you

I don't know why

Cos I always straighten my tie and comb my hair

I know your brother thinks that

I'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of town

I know he's got me wrong

Because I'm really not like that, I'll tell you why

You're the first girl I've ever loved

Tell me do you feel the same way

Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest

'Cos I know who I am

I remember the very first time I held your hand

And that was the last time you were so close to me

But I can't go on

No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do

I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china

I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china

You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china

'Cos I know it's your first time
C5  G5  F5        C5        G5
I know you know and now I want to, 
  F5            G5
I want to tell everybody
C5  G5  F5        C5         G5           F5   G5
I know you know and now I want them all to see
