Nothing Like the First Time

By Katy Perry

[Verse 1]

The leaves were falling, I was seventeen

We'd been locking lips, grabbing hips, smoking cigarettes

We took a drive in your 1990 the hand me down

From out of town, I was California

Oh, my legs were not shaved

And you had dirt between your fingers

They told us to behave, but hey


[Chorus]

It's not like riding a bike

It's not like flying a kite

It's not as easy as pie

There's nothing like the first time

It's not like taking a bath

It's not like having a laugh

It's not like reading a map

It's nothing like the first time


[Verse 2]

I had seen it in the magazines

We would change the channel on the TV screen

'Cause it's such a sin what ya did to me

Straight to hell is what they sell if you done the deed

Oh, but what could be so bad?

Oh, if everyone is guilty

I guess we want what we can't have

'Cause I've heard...


[Chorus]

It's not like riding a bike

It's not like flying a kite

It's not as easy as pie

There's nothing like the first time

It's not like taking a bath

It's not like having a laugh

It's not like reading a map

It's nothing like the first time


[Bridge]

Do you remember? Do you remember?

Do you remember? Do you remember?

La la la la la la

There's nothing like the first time

La la la la la la

There's nothing like the first time


[Chorus]

It's not a walk in the park

It's not a shot in the dark

It's not a juvenile crime

There's nothing like the first time

It's not like tying the knot

There's no connecting the dots

And in case you forgot

There's nothing like the first time

La la la la la la

There's nothing like the first time

La la la la la la

There's nothing like the first time

La la la la la la

There's nothing like the first time


[Outro]

It's not like reading a map (La la la la la la)

Oh ya, you give me laugh

There's nothing like the first time
