First Date

From Take Off Your Pants and Jacket2001

Written by Mark Hoppus

Lyrics

First Date

In the car, I just can't wait To pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? I'm just scared of what you think You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Let's go Don't wait This night's almost over Honest, let's make This night last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever

When you smile, I melt inside I'm not worthy for a minute of your time I really wish it was only me and you I'm jealous of everybody in the room Please don't look at me with those eyes Please don't hint that you're capable of lies I dread the thought of our very first kiss A target that I'm probably gonna miss

Let's go Don't wait This night's almost over Honest, let's make This night last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever

Let's go Don't wait This night's almost over Honest, let's make This night last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever Forever and ever Let's make this last forever
