First To Know

There are people I know
They don't seem to mind
But if they do, it don't show
But I can't sleep at night
Unless I know it's your tuck-tuck time
And I know I sound paranoid
But I've been that way since I was a boy
Knee height, stage fright
Even if you're alright
I've gotta be the first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
oh-oh-oh-ohAnd I know it was a long time ago
You left on your own
You kerb-crawled home
And I'll still kick myself now
Should have never allowed you out of my sight
And I cross my heart and hope to die
If anything happens to you when you're out of my sight
Wanna be the guy who steps in the way when you're in harm's way
I wanna be the first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
oh-oh-oh-ohIf you want some space just squeeze my hand girl
I'll understand
You don't have to lie
We're on the same side girl, oh
I don't wanna be a ball 'n' chain
But I'm just afraid of change and I'm not ashamed
But if you think I wanna hold you back
You should know me better than that
I just wanna be the first to know
The first to know-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
The first to know
The first to know-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-ohThe first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
oh-oh-oh-oh
