Get It Right the First Time

I don't believe in first impressions

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

Get it right the first time, that's the main thing

Oh, oh

I can't afford to let it pass

You get it right the next time, that's not the same thing

Oh, oh

Gonna make the first time last

I'm not much good at conversation

I never was much good at comin' on real strong

But if all it takes is inspiration

Then I might have just what it takes

If I don't make no bad mistakes and I

Get it right the first time 'cause that's the main thing

Oh, oh

I can't afford to let it pass

You get it right the next time, that's not the same thing

Oh, oh

Gonna make the first time last

I might find the courage, yeah

I might get up the nerve

Oh, but if my timing ain't just right

What purpose would that 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

Gonna take my chance tonight and

Get it right the first time, that's the main thing

Oh, oh

I can't afford to let it pass

You get it right the next time, that's not the same thing

Oh, oh

Gonna make the first time last
