Billy Joel - Get It Right The First Time

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 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 Get it right the next time That's not the same thing Gonna make the first time last.
