Get It Right The First Time

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Got to make the move right now

Got to meet that girl somehow

[Chorus]

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 make the first time last

[Verse 2]

I'm not much good at conversation

I never was much good

At coming on real strong

But if all it takes is inspiration

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I might have just what it takes

If I don't make no bad mistakes

And I

[Chorus]

Get it right the first time

'Cause 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

[Bridge]

I might find the courage

Yeah, I might get up the nerve

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

[Verse 3]

So I suppose it's now or never

Before that woman

Walks right out of my life

Just let me pull myself together

[Pre-Chorus]

I've got to give it one good try

Gotta take my chance tonight

[Outro]

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 make the first time last
