First in Line Lyrics

Well, you're turnin' all the fellas down
'Cause you know you are the cutest girl around

So let a beauty choose
And someone's gonna lose
When you finally decide, I wanna be the first in line
First in line

They call you up, you're never home
But you're always right there by the phone

So let a beauty choose
And someone's gonna lose
When you finally decide, I wanna be the first in line
First in line

Well, I tried to get to know you
But you never ever looked my way
Yes, it hurts, and I just can't stand it
Little girl, you're worth all the pain

Oh, how I tried to get to know you
But you never ever looked my way
Oh baby, it hurts, and I just can't stand it
Little girl, you're worth all the pain
Well, they call you up, you're never home
And you're always right there by the phone

So let a beauty choose
And someone's gonna lose
Oh, when you finally decide, I wanna be the first in line
First in line
First in line
First in line

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 [?]
