I Need Your Love
Basil & Yvonne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had it my way
this would be the first time that I made love
I would be the first girl that your hands touched
We've both done our share of living
taking chances we've been given
I've never been too big on looking back
I don't care if I'm your first love
but I'd love to be your last

If I could do it over
I'd have waited for this momet
so I could give my heart to you unbroken
But if our mistakes brought us together
does it really matter whether
we were saints or sinners in the past
I don't care if I'm your first love
but I'd love to be your last

All I know is what I see when I look at you
and all I see is what I'm feeling down inside
and all I'm feeling is this feeling
that I finally got it right

When I wake up tomorrow
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you
thank my lucky stars I found you
And I know your heart has so much more than
anyone has touched before and
nothing matters more to me than that
I don't care if I'm your first love
but I'd love to be your last




I don't care if I'm your first love
but I'd love to be your last
