Billy Joel - Get It Right The First Time lyrics

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

I`ve got to make the move right now

Got to meet that girl somehow

CHORUS

I`ve gotta 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.

I`m not much good at conversation

I never was too smooth at comin` on real strong

If all it takes is inspiration

Then I might have just what it takes

If I don`t make no bad mistakes and I

CHORUS

I might find the courage yeah I might get up the nerve

But if my timing ain`t just right what purpose would it 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 taake my chance tonight

CHORUS
