This ballad blends R&B and soul with gentle piano chords, warm organ swells, and laid-back drum grooves. Smooth basslines sit under expressive lead vocals, complemented by subtle gospel-style backing harmonies. A tender strings section lifts the bridge before a soft, intimate outro.

Lyrics
INTRO - SPOKEN:
I know I did not treat you as I should've when I ignored your love that first time. All that attention you were giving me, I did not know what to do with it. But that was a big mistake. And a man's supposed to learn from his mistakes. And girl I learnt my lessons well. I ain't too proud to come creeping back to you. Won't you take me back?
VERSE 1:
You loved me before, you can love me once more
This time I'll cherish the love, of this you can be sure
Better than the first time
Sweeter than the last time
This time around, I'll never let go of you
Love is forever this time, I'll be honest and true
This will be the best time
You should be forever mine
PRE-CHORUS:
So I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you please
I've learned my lessons well
Would you please take me back
I was wrong, I admit that
I need you and no one else
[CHORUS]:
I'm coming back to find my first love
Back where I really belong
Wrap me up in your arms again
Take away this loneliness and pain
(REPEAT ALL)
[VERSE 2]:
This time I will be so careful with love
Last time around, don't know what I was thinking of
How could I have let you go
I was just too young to know
(But) She broke my heart and shattered my dreams
Since you been gone, nothing but emptiness within
I was never satisfied
Wasn't greener on the other side
PRE-CHORUS:
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you please
I've learned my lessons well
Would you please take me back
I was wrong, I admit that
I need you and no one else
CHORUS REPEATS
BRIDGE
Back where I started, so broken inside
This empty space I just can’t hide
No one else fits, no one else belongs
You were my right in a world of wrongs
My first and best, my heart’s refrain
Come fill this void, erase the pain
You’re my beginning, you’re my end
Come back to me - my love, my friend
PRE-CHORUS:
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you please
I've learned my lessons well
Would you please take me back
I was wrong, I admit that
I need you and no one else
[CHORUS]:
I'm coming back to find my first love
Back where I really belong
Wrap me up in your arms again
Take away this loneliness and pain
I'm coming back to find my first love
Back where I really belong
Wrap me up in your arms again
Take away this loneliness and pain
I'm coming back to find my first love
Back where I really belong
Wrap me up in your arms again
Take away this loneliness and pain
I'm coming back to find my first love
Back where I really belong
Wrap me up in your arms again
Take away this loneliness and pain
