Billy Joel Get It Right The First Time Lyrics

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
