First love
Zahidah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I first saw you across the room,
My heart starts pounding my knees get weak,
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?

You flashed that James Dean smile of yours
Got all the girls melting to the core including me yet I try to hide it.
What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with me?

Little that i know we're gonna be more than friends for sure

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
you make me go on a roller coaster ride,
Going way down low when you have to go,
And up the sky when i see you smile.

Then we saw each other along the hallway,
Stealing glances pretending we're looking elsewhere.
What's happening?
Boy you make my head spin.
Then one fine day you finally said hello
And all i could do was to blush and walk away.
Seriously what's wrong with me?

Little that i know we're gonna be more than friends for sure

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
you make me go on a roller coaster ride,
going way down low when you have to go
And up the sky when i see you smile.

Well that was yesterday,
Today brings another story for you and me
But one thing will never change

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
you make me go on a roller coaster ride,

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
you make me go on a roller coaster ride,
going way down low when you have to go

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
you make me go on a roller coaster ride,

going way down low when you have to go
And up the sky when i see you smile

I first saw you across the room,
From the moment I laid eyes on you from afar

My heart starts pounding my knees get weak,
My heart races and my legs lose their strength

What's wrong with me?
I can't help but wonder what's causing my reactions

You flashed that James Dean smile of yours
Your charming and quick-witted grin reminds me of the famous actor James Dean

Got all the girls melting to the core including me yet I try to hide it.
Your smile is so attractive that it seduces all the girls, myself included, but I try to play it cool and not show my feelings

Little that i know we're gonna be more than friends for sure
Although I wasn't aware at the time, our relationship was destined to become more than just a friendship

Ooh baby you make me feel crazy,
Your effect on my emotions is so intense

you make me go on a roller coaster ride,
I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster of emotions when I'm around you

Going way down low when you have to go,
When I'm not around you, I feel a deep sense of sadness

And up the sky when i see you smile.
But when you smile, my mood instantly becomes euphoric

Then we saw each other along the hallway,
We unexpectedly crossed paths in the hallway

Stealing glances pretending we're looking elsewhere.
We sneak glances at each other while pretending to be looking somewhere else

What's happening?
I'm confused as to what our relationship is

Boy you make my head spin.
You make me dizzy with all these mixed feelings

Then one fine day you finally said hello
After a while, you finally greeted me

And all i could do was to blush and walk away.
I couldn't control my emotions and I blushed before walking away

Well that was yesterday,
That was in the past

Today brings another story for you and me
Our relationship continues to grow and evolve
