Get It Right the First Time - Billy Joel (比利·乔)

I don't we leaving first time confessions

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

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 just have what it takes

If I don't make no bad mistakes

And I get it right the first time

That's the main thing

Can't afford to let it pass

You get it right the next time that's not the same thing

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 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

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

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
