Tonight is the night

Make me a woman

You said you′ll be gentle with meI hope you will

I'm nervous, I′m tremblin'

Waitin' for you to walk in

I′m tryin′ hard to relax

Just can't keep still, no

I can hear your car door slammin′

I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile

But I know so little about what love is

I just can't help actin′ like a child

You're knockin′ on my door and you're ringin' my bell

Hope you′re not impatient after waiting so very long

A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups

And we′re both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night

That you make me a woman

You said you'll be gentle with me

I hope you will

I′m nervous and I'm tremblin′

Waitin' for you to walk in

Tryin′ hard to relax

I just can't keep still

Hey, baby

Oh, baby

Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, but what if my mama should come home early

And catch us doin' what we′re doin′?

Not only will I never live it down

But my whole family relationship, it'll all be ruined

But we′ve gone a little bit too far now

Oh, to turn around

So let's just pray

That true love is what we′ve found

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Oh, I'll never forget tonight

No, no, I′ll never forget tonight

When you make me feel real

You make me feel real, real good

Oh, woah, woah,

Yeah, and I wanna thank your love

Said I've got to thank your love

'Cause you make me feel good

And I love you, baby

I love you and I know it

And I ain′t too proud to show it
