First Date Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Meet me by the corner shop
The one that sells the flower pots
To tell me that you bought it with your cash
And not your mother's coupons

[Verse 2]
Build a rocket ship out of soft clay
And take me right up into space
And I can see how our day went
We'll see if we're just friends

[Chorus]
'Cause I know you know
It's still pretty awkward
Grow some balls and just say
Where'd you wanna go, where'd you
Where'd you wanna go on our first date?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
