And we're so pleased that
So many of you could come out and share
In all the love and all the happiness
We want you to have a real
Is that alright with you?
Now, this is a tune that I composed
Now, I never intended recording this song
That is, until the day that my
Happened to thumb through
"We gotta do somethin' with these words
And people wanna hear about it, Betty"
You see, it's the story of a young girl
Making love for the very first time
Now, when I finally got a melody
I played it for my mother
Now, I gotta tell you a little bit
You see, I come from one of those
And I'm the baby of the family
I'll never forget the way she looked
at me when I played it for her
She said, "Uh, I like the music
You know, baby, the melody,
But I know you're not gonna
But we eased it right on by her, yes,
So I want you to do this for
Everybody think back to your
Now, I'll give you a little
'Cause I know some of you
Have to think back a little bit
Come on now, I want you to play catch- up
'Cause I don't want you waitin'
'til I get to the end of my song
Sayin', "Oh, yeah, now I remember"
Oh, you just smilin', it was good
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
That you make me a woman,
You said you'll be gentle with me
And I, I hope you will, mmm
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
Waitin' for you to walk in
But I just can't keep still, no
I can hear your car door slammin'
I wanna play big girl and put
But I know so little about what love is
I just can't help actin' like a
You're knockin' on my door and
Hope you're not impatient
after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with
And we're both old enough
That you make me a woman, mmm
You said you'll be gentle with me
And I, I hope you will, mmm
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
Waitin' for you to walk in
But I just can't keep still
But what if my mama should
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship,
But we've gone a little bit too far now
That true love is what we've found
Ho, I'll never forget tonight
No, no, I'll never forget tonight
Yeah, and I wanna thank you, love
Said I've got to thank you, love
'Cause you make me feel good
And I ain't too proud to show it
I want you, my love, my love
I'll never forget tonight
No, I'll never forget tonight
'Cause you make me feel good
You make me feel real good
There's nothin' phony about it
Your love I can't do without it
Uh- uh- uh, pure love, ooh
