   Struktur tersebut tidak bersifat kaku, jadi tidak semua lagu memiliki struktur yang
tersusun seperti itu. Tapi setiap lagu secara umum pasti memiliki verse, chorus, dan
bridge.

Nikka Costa - First Love

Everyone can see

There's a change in me
They all say
I'm not the same kid I used to be
Don't go out and play
I just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say
It's my first love
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My first love
Thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love
Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all?
Will he ever notice me
Could he ever fall?
Tell me, teddy bear
Why love is so unfair
Will I ever find a way
And answer to my pray
It's my first love
What I dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My first love
Thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love
My first love
