Both singers 

There’s nothing quite like first love 
That trembling first kiss 
There’s nothing quite like first love 
And that’s nothing like this 
There’s nothing quite like first love 
There’s nothing quite the same 
Quinine’s just as bitter 
By any other name 
There’s nothing quite like first love 
That rushing, crashing scream 
There’s nothing quite like first love 
For crushing your dreams 

So please don’t tell me stories about first love tonight 
That was then, this is now so turn off the light 

There’s nothing quite like fast love 
Live love at first sight 
There’s nothing quite like fast love 
When everything feels right 
There’s nothing quite like fast love 
There’s nothing quite like that 
A wrong note repeated 
Still sounds just as flat 
There’s nothing quite like fast love 
A rollercoaster whirl 
There’s nothing quite like fast love 
For making me hurl 

So please don’t tell me stories about love at first sight
That was then, this is now so turn off the light 

There’s nothing quite like new love 
Pure and pristine 
There’s nothing quite like new love 
Just making the scene 
There’s nothing quite like new love 
Nothing can compare 
The purest of methane 
Isn’t breathable air 
There’s nothing quite like new love 
Broken from the start 
There’s nothing quite like new love 
For breaking your heart 

So please don’t try to tell me our love feels new tonight 
That was then, this is now so turn off the light
