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

CHORUS
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 have just what it takes
If I don`t make no bad mistakes and I

CHORUS

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
So 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 taake my chance tonight

CHORUS
