The first night (1998)
Dm ~
Dm
Baby, baby, tell me what’s
up? Can you hear
me?
C
Or do I, do I need to turn
it up? (4x)
Dm
1. Boy, this evening was it only me,
G
feeling
completely down to be open,
Dm
down
to be open for some satisfaction,
G
didn't
want to say ‘yes’, afraid of your reaction.
Dm
I knew it was wrong, for
feeling this way,
G
especially
the thought of givin' in on the first date.
Dm
Couldn't let go, it stayed on
my mind,
G
at
the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'...
Dm C
I should make a move, but I
won't,
Dm C
I know you’re prob’ly thinkin'
something is wrong.
Dm C
Knowing if I do that it won't be right,
Dm C
I don't get down on the first night.
Dm C
I should make a move but I won't,
Dm C
and then you prob’ly
thinkin' something is wrong,
Dm C
knowing if I do that, it won't be
right,
Dm C
I wanna get down, but not the first night.
Dm
2. We was chillin'
watching your T.V.
G
I felt it was comin'
the closer that you got to me.
Dm
Wanted to
touch you, wanted to kiss you.
G
and
somehow in one night, discover I love you.
Dm
Felt so right, but it felt so
wrong,
G
and
look how we're carryin' on.
Dm
Tryin'
to say things to get me to stay
G
but
my watch is telling me it's getting to late, I'm thinkin'...
