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
I've gotta get it right
the first time
That's the main thing
oh I can't afford to
let it pass
You get it right the next time
that's not the same thing
oh 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
I've gotta get it right
the first time
That's the main thing
oh I can't afford to
let it pass
You get it right the next time
that's not the same thing
oh Gonna 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
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 take my chance tonight
I've gotta get it right
the first time
That's the main thing
oh I can't afford to
let it pass
You get it right the next time
that's not the same thing
oh Gonna have to make the
first time last.
