I grew up on Wonder Years. She was Saved by the Bell
I was Boyz in tha Hood. She was ATL.
Used to sell weed to her roommate, thats how we met.
Old girl didnt smoke, but she had jokes on deck.
No disrespect. Its just the way it was.
She clowned cause I was broke and always said Cuz
I would clown her for always saying Shorty and Yall
She smiled every time I did my little Southern drawl
Calls became frequent/ wed hang out on the weekend
Started feeling like shes the one Ive been seeking
Didnt take it far. Third base at most.
Never sealed the deal, but came real close.
I knew that if I hit it/ I would have to stay committed
And I was young, 21, man I just wasnt with it.
Knew what was coming/ and you cant run from it
When a feelings that strong between a man and a woman
[Chorus]
She said she wanted more than a friendship,
But I wasnt willing to bend.
I said I wanted friends with benefits,
But I was only trying to pretend
I didnt want you (want you), need you (need you)
Really wanna make you mine
I would never mislead you, look at how I treat you
But girl, you gotta give me some time.
So the first time we did it, it was alright
But soon I was creeping to her room every night
Something like magic, I felt I had to have it
Just the right fix to kick my chick habit
You know its always better when youre lovers and close friends
It started getting deep. I kind of felt closed in
I went out and made a stupid mistake
I stopped returning calls, went on a few dates.
Of course it got back to where I knew shed be hurt
But she didnt even trip and that made me feel worse
She showed me all that love after I did her dirt
Now Im feeling like Im the scum of the earth.
She left for break, and didnt leave her number.
I thought about her every single day that summer.
A sucker, for trying to keep it on the under
I said Next time I see her, Imma tell her that I love her
[Chorus]
She said she wanted more than a friendship,
But I wasnt willing to bend.
I said I wanted friends with benefits,
But I was only trying to pretend
I didnt want you (want you), need you (need you)
Really wanna make you mine
I would never mislead you, look at how I treat you
But girl, you gotta give me some time.
Woulda swore I was student the way I was waiting
for the new semester to begin.
The very next day I ran up to campus
And ran into one of her friends.
I made small talk; I didnt want to seem lame
or too anxious, but when I said her name
The tears came. She started to break down.
I can still see the look on her face now.
Through the tears, I could hear Drunk driver,
Crash, accident, there were no survivors
She trying to continue to describe it,
But just couldnt take it and she ran off crying.
Lying if I said I wasnt filled with regret
I cried for three hours sitting down on them steps
But even though youre gone, your memory lives on
And for all I did wrong, I dedicate this song
To my first love
This for my first love.
