First Time Lyrics

Dressed to kill
You took me without warning
I rehearsed the part a thousand times
But I never knew how good it could feel

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Laughing girl!
My heart it beats like thunder
I am shaken up with a love so strong
Right here, I know,
Is where we belong

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Wrap your arms around me darling
Let me feel what I never believed
Could happen to me

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Dressed to kill
You took me without warning
I rehearsed the part a thousand times
But I never knew how good it could feel

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Laughing girl!
My heart it beats like thunder
I am shaken up with a love so strong
Right here, I know,
Is where we belong

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Wrap your arms around me darling
Let me feel what I never believed
Could happen to me

First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
