The First Night

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Baby, Baby tell me what's up?

Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up?

Boy, This evening, was it only me,

Feeling completely

Down to be open.

Down to be open,

For some satisfaction.

Didn't wanna say yes,

Afraid of your reaction.

I knew it was wrong for feeling this way,

Especially the thought of getting in on the first date.

Couldn't let go,

It stayed on my mind.

At the end of the night,

I had to decide,

I was thinking.

(Chorus)

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I don't get down on the first night.

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I wanna get down but not the first night.

We were chillin,

Watching your TV.

I thought you were coming close as you got to me.

Wanted to touch you.

Wanted to kiss you.

And somehow in one night,

Discover I love you.

Felt so right but it felt so wrong,

And look how we are carrying on.

Try to say things to get me to stay,

But my watch tells me its getting to late.

I'm thinking.

(Chorus)

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I don't get down on the first night.

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I wanna get down but not the first night.

If,

If you want me,

You got to know me.

If you want my love,

You gotta win my love.

Hey baby,

That's the way its got to be yeah.

Get to know me.

Get to know me.

So we can do this.

(Chorus)

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I don't get down on the first night.

I should make a move but I won't.

I know you're probably thinking something is wrong.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right.

I wanna get down but not the first night.
