Betty Wright - Tonight Is The Night

First of all I'd like to say good evening
 And we're so pleased that
 So many of you could come out and share
 In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
 We want you to have a real good time
 'Cause that's just what we have in mind
 Is that alright with you
 Now, this is a tune that I composed
 And it's called
 Tonight is the night
 That you make me a woman
 Now I never intended recording this song
 It was a personal poem
 This is until the day that my producer
 Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
 He came across the words and he said
 'We got to somethin' with these words
 It's happening every day
 And people wanna hear about it, Betty'
 You see, it's the story of a young girl
 Making love for the very first time
 Now when I finally got a melody
 I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
 Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
 You see I come from one of those pretty large families
 And I'm the baby of the family
 And you know you never grow up to your mother
 I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
 She said, 'Uh, I like the music
 You know, baby, the melody it's really nice
 But I know you're not gonna sing that song'
 But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
 And it became one of my biggest records too
 So I want you to do this for me if you will
 Everybody think back to your very first time
 Now I'll give you a little while longer
 'Cause I know some of you
 Have to think back a little further than others
 Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
 'Cause I don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
 Sayin', 'Oh, yeah, now I remember'
 Now whether it was good
 Or you just smilin' it was good
 Or on the other hand if it was not so good
 Here's my story

 Hmm...hmm...mmm...mmm...

 Tonight is the night
 That you make me a woman, mmm...
 You said you'll be gentle with me
 And I-I hope you will, mmm...mmm...

 I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
 Waitin' for you to walk in
 I'm tryin' hard to relax
 But I 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, mmm...
 You said you'll be gentle with me
 And I-I hope you will, hmm...mmm...
 I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
 Waitin' for you to walk in
 Tryin' hard to relax
 But I just can't keep still

 Mmm...hey, baby
 Ho, ho, baby
 Ho...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

 Ho, I'll never forget tonight
 No, no, I'll never forget tonight
 That's when you make me feel real, mmm...hmm...
 You make me feel real, real good
 Oh...oh...whoa...oh...oh...whoa...whoa...
 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
 'Cause I love you, baby
 And I need you, baby
 I want you, my love, my love
 My, my, my baby
