Lyrics
0:25I don't we leaving first time confessions
0:30For just this once I hope that looks don't deceive
0:34I ain't got time for true confessions
0:39I've got to make the move right now
0:40Got to meet that girl somehow
0:43I've gotta get it right the first time
0:45That's the main thing
0:49I can't afford to let it pass
0:52You get it right the next time that's not the same thing
0:58Gonna have to make the first time last
1:20I'm not much good at conversation
1:24I never was too smooth at comin' on real strong
1:29If all it takes is inspiration
1:33Then I might just have what it takes
1:35If I don't make no bad mistakes
1:38And I get it right the first time
1:39That's the main thing
1:43Can't afford to let it pass
1:47You get it right the next time that's not the same thing
1:52Have to make the first time last
2:14I might find the courage yeah I might get up the nerve
2:18But if my timing ain't just right what purpose would it serve
2:23I don't know I don't know I don't know how to say those first few words
2:27If I want to put myself in touch
2:30The first few moments mean so much
2:33I suppose it's now or never
2:36Before that woman walks right out of my life
2:41Just let me pull myself together
2:46I've got to give it one good try
2:48Gotta take my chance tonight
2:50I've gotta get it right the first time
2:52That's the main thing
2:56I can't afford to let it pass
2:59You get it right the next time that's not the same thing
3:05Gonna have to make the first time last
I don't we leaving first time confessions For just this once I hope that looks don't deceive I ain't got time for true confessions I've got to make the move right now Got to meet that girl somehow I've gotta get it right the first time That's the main thing I can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time that's not the same thing Gonna have to make the first time last I'm not much good at conversation I never was too smooth at comin' on real strong If all it takes is inspiration Then I might just have what it takes If I don't make no bad mistakes And I get it right the first time That's the main thing Can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time that's not the same thing Have to make the first time last I might find the courage yeah I might get up the nerve But if my timing ain't just right what purpose would it serve I don't know I don't know I don't know how to say those first few words If I want to put myself in touch The first few moments mean so much I suppose it's now or never Before that woman walks right out of my life Just let me pull myself together I've got to give it one good try Gotta take my chance tonight I've gotta get it right the first time That's the main thing I can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time that's not the same thing Gonna have to make the first time last
