Lenny Kravitz - A Long And Sad Good 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

Get it right the first time

That's the main thing

I can't afford to let it pass

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 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

Get it right the first time

Cause that's the main thing

Can't afford to let it pass

Get it right the next time

That's not the same thing

Gonna make the first time last

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

Oh 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 take my chance tonight

Get it right the first time

That's the main thing

I can't afford to let it pass

Get it right the next time

That's not the same thing

Gonna make the first time last.
