Lyrics of First by Rose Gray, Melanie C
Intro
Two, three, four
Verse
I hold my breath for longer
I swim more laps than you
I drive much faster than you
I sleep for longer than you
I′ve got my eyes on you
Chorus
Is it love or just a competition for us?
The thrill, the rush of beating someone you crush on
I've said too much, the least I′m saying it first
Love or just a competition for us?
Hook
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
Verse
One hundred and one and then two
Still holding my breath for you
I backflip with my eyes closed
Incomplete, but nobody knows
More lovers than you could ever hold
Let's face it, baby, I'm going for goals
Chorus
Is it love or just a competition for us?
The thrill, the rush of beating someone you crush on
I′ve said too much, the least I′m saying it first
Love or just a competition for us?
Hook
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
Verse
Play it hard, but I gotta play harder
I'm a fool, but I make it fall faster
Ice-cold, ice rose, it′s just enough
Give you a silver, I'll take gold
Verse
I wanna stop, but I gotta keep going (going)
When you call, baby, I′ma start showing
You should know that I never start showing
Down this road that we both chose
Chorus
Is it love or just a competition for us?
The thrill, the rush of beating someone you crush on
I've said too much, the least I′m saying it first
Love or just a competition for us?
Outro
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(Da-ra-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ra-da, da-da-da, da-da)
A Little Louder, Please (Deluxe)
