[Verse 1]
People write to me everyday
Seeking advice
They stop by to tell me their story
Dearly beloved, we're gathered today
For a trial with a judge and the jury.
Seeing how love turned into fury,
You promised for better; you gave it your worst.
You said, "Get your hand out of my pocket.
Take your fingers from my purse."

[Chorus]
Before you say something
You wish you hadn't heard
Don't lose your first love looking for the last word.

[Verse 2]
You promised to love him. Nobody knew
The sweetness when you were together.
But you started to squabble like all couples do
In the fair and the foulest of weather.
Now you wonder if he has another
Some tramp who is tempting
Now he's past his prime
While you say it in haste, you regret it in time.
[Chorus]
Before you say something
You wish you hadn't heard
Don't lose your first love looking for the last word.
Don't lose your first love looking for the last word.
