 English Song

First Love
Everyone can see
There's a change in me
The all say I'm not the same
Kid I used to be
Don't go out and play
I'll just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say
Reff:
It's my first love
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My First love
He thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Coz I'm feeling my first love
Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all?
Will he ever notice me?
Could he ever fall?
Tell me Teddy Bear
Why love is so unfair?
Will I ever find a way?
And answer to my pray?
