[Verse 1]
Don't tell me now where I went wrong
That's no good now, shoulda' taught me then
Oh, don't call me bold or the fools I've been
[Refrain]
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
[Verse 2]
I knew someone who was a friend of mine
He had a girl, oh, she was so fine
Now I lost him and I've lost his life
[Refrain]
I was the first one to know, he was the last one to learn
I was the first one to know, he was the last one to learn
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
[Verse 3]
Don't tell me now where I went wrong
What a fool I've been, that's no good now
Shoulda' told me then, shoulda' said somehow
[Refrain]
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
I was the first one to know, I'll be the last one to learn
I was the first one to know...
