  • Somebody told me they saw you with her
    They even called her my name
    Thinking I was that girl
    She wears the same kind of makeup
    And the same color hair
    Well she's a wannabe me
    And she's even got it down to the clothes I wear
    See you can try to replace me
    And start all over again
    But what you just don't understand

    You had it right the first time
    But you went and said it's fine
    I gave you all of me
    So you had no reason to think twice
    You had it right the first time
    But you were so blind
    'Cause there'll never be no better me to find
    You had it right the first time

    She can wear the same perfume
    And she can hold your hand
    Yeah she can make you smile
    But not the way that I can
    I hope she doesn't get used to being so attached
    'Cause she will never be me no so it just won't last

    So you can try to up rank me
    Yeah you can dream like that
    But you might as well face the facts

    You had it right the first time (First time)
    But you went and said it's fine
    I gave you all of me
    So you had no reason to think twice
    You had it right the first time
    But you were so blind
    'Cause there'll never be no better me to find

    You can keep searching around
    Thinking that we're all the same
    But I'll always be the best you found
    And that's one thing that just won't change
    'Cause there'll never be no better me
    Oh no,
    No there'll never be no better me, oh no

    You had it right the first time
    But you went and said it's fine
    I gave you all of me
    So you had no reason to think twice
    You had it right the first time
    But you were so blind
    'Cause there'll never be no better me to find
    No, 'cause there'll never be no better me to find
    And now I gotta tell you
    There'll never be no better me to find
    You had it right the first time Writer/s: ANTONIO DIXON, ELLA HENDERSON, KENNY EDMONDS
