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

Got to make the move right now
Got to meet that girl somehow

Get it right the first time
That´s the main thing
I can´t afford to let it pass
You get it right the next time
That´s not the same thing
Gonna make the first time last

I´m not much good at conversation
I never was much good
At coming on real strong
But if all it takes is inspiration

Then I might have just what it takes
If I don´t make no bad mistakes
And I

Get it right the first time
´Cause that´s the main thing
I can´t afford to let it pass
You get it right the next time
That´s not the same thing
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 that 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

Get it right the first time
That´s the main thing
I can´t afford to let it pass
You get it right the next time
That´s not the same thing
Gonna have to make the first time last
