First of all I'd like to say good evening
And we're
so pleased that
So many
of you could come out and share
In all
the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
We want
you to have a real good time
'Cause
that's just what we have in mind
Is that
alright with you
Now, this
is a tune that I composed
And it's
called
Tonight
is the night
That you
make me a woman
Now I
never intended recording this song
It was a
personal poem
This is
until the day that my producer
Happened
to thumb through the pages of my notebook
He came
across the words and he said
"We
got to somethin' with these words
It's
happening every day
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 took it
home and I-I played it for my mother
Now I got
to tell you a little bit about my mother
You see I
come from one of those pretty large families
And I'm
the baby of the family
And you
know you never grow up to your mother
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 it's really nice
But I
know you're not gonna sing that song"
But we
eased it right on by, yes, we did
And it
became one of my biggest records too
So I want
you to do this for me if you will
Everybody
think back to your very first time
Now I'll
give you a little while longer
'Cause I
know some of you
Have to
think back a little further than others
Come on
now, I want you to play catch-up
'Cause I
don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
Sayin',
"Oh, yeah, now I remember"
Now
whether it was good
Or you
just smilin' it was good
Or on the
other hand if it was not so good
Here's my
story
Hmm...
Hmm... Mmm... Mmm...
Tonight
is the night
That you
make me a woman, mmm...
You said
you'll be gentle with me
And I-I
hope you will, mmm... Mmm...
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
Waitin'
for you to walk in
I'm
tryin' hard to relax
But I
just can't keep still, no
I can hear your car door slammin'
I wanna
play big girl and put on a s*** smile
But I
know so little about what love is
I just
can't help actin' like a child
You're knockin' on my door and you're ringin' my bell
Hope
you're not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole
year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we're
both old enough to know right from wrong
Tonight is the night
That you
make me a woman, mmm...
You said
you'll be gentle with me
And I-I
hope you will, hmm... Mmm...
I'm
nervous and I'm tremblin'
Waitin'
for you to walk in
Tryin'
hard to relax
But I
just can't keep still
Mmm... Hey, baby
Ho, ho,
baby
Ho...
Yeah... Yeah...
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
And catch
us doin' what we're doin'
Not only
will I never live it down
But my
whole family relationship it'll all be ruined
But we've
gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to
turn around
So let's
just pray
That true
love is what we've found
Tonight, tonight
Tonight,
tonight
Ho, I'll never forget tonight
No, no,
I'll never forget tonight
That's
when you make me feel real, mmm... Hmm...
You make
me feel real, real good
Oh...
Oh... Whoa... Oh... Oh... Whoa... Whoa...
Yeah, and
I wanna thank your love
Said I've
got to thank your love
'Cause
you make me feel good
And I
love you, baby
I love
you and I know it
And I
ain't too proud to show it
'Cause I
love you, baby
And I
need you, baby
I want
you, my love, my love
My, my,
my baby
I'll
never forget tonight
No, I'll
never forget tonight
'Cause
you make me feel good
And I
love you, baby
You make
me feel real good
And I
love you, baby
'Cause
you gave me
Uh, uh,
pure love, yeah
Uh, uh,
uh, pure love
Said I
like that, baby
Uh, uh,
pure love
Said I
need that, sugar
Uh-uh-uh,
pure love
There's
nothin' phony about it
Uh-uh,
pure love
Your love
I can't do without it
Uh-uh-uh,
pure love, ooh
I love him, I know it
I ain't
too proud to show it
I love
him, I know it
I ain't
too proud to show it
I love
him, I know it
I ain't
too proud to show it
I love
him, I know it
And I
ain't too proud to show it
Tonight, tonight
Tonight,
tonight
Mmm...
Mmm... Mmm...
Thank you
Thank you
