Tonight Is The Night Lyrics

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

I'll never forget tonight

No, I'll never forget tonight

'Cause you make me feel good

And I love you, baby

You make me feel real good

And I love you, baby

'Cause you gave me

Uh, uh, pure love, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, pure love

Said I like that, baby

Uh, uh, pure love

Said I need that, sugar

Uh-uh-uh, pure love

There's nothin' phony about it

Uh-uh, pure love

Your love I can't do without it

Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh

I love him, I know it

I ain't too proud to show it

I love him, I know it

I ain't too proud to show it

I love him, I know it

I ain't too proud to show it

I love him, I know it

And I ain't too proud to show it

Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Mmm...mmm...mmm...

Thank you

Thank you
