1
First of all I'd like to say good evening
2
And we're so pleased that
3
So many of you could come out and share
4
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
5
We want you to have a real good time
6
Cause that's just what we have in mind
7
Is that alright with you
8
Now, this is a tune that I composed
9
And it's called
10
Tonight is the night
11
That you make me a woman
12
Now I never intended recording this song
13
It was a personal poem
14
This is until the day that my producer
15
Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
16
He came across the words and he said
17
We got to somethin' with these words
18
It's happening every day
19
And people wanna hear about it, Betty'
20
You see, it's the story of a young girl
21
Making love for the very first time
22
Now when I finally got a melody
23
I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
24
Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
25
You see I come from one of those pretty large families
26
And I'm the baby of the family
27
And you know you never grow up to your mother
28
I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
29
She said, â??Uh, I like the music
30
You know, baby, the melody it's really nice
31
But I know you're not gonna sing that song'
32
But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
33
And it became one of my biggest records too
34
So I want you to do this for me if you will
35
Everybody think back to your very first time
36
Now I'll give you a little while longer
37
Cause I know some of you
38
Have to think back a little further than others
39
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
40
Cause I don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
41
Sayin', Oh, yeah, now I remember'
42
Now whether it was good
43
Or you just smilin' it was good
44
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
45
Here's my story
46
Hmm, hmm, mmm, mmm
47
Tonight is the night
48
That you make me a woman, mmm
49
You said you'll be gentle with me
50
And I-I hope you will, mmm, mmm
51
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
52
Waitin' for you to walk in
53
I'm tryin' hard to relax
54
But I just can't keep still, no
55
I can hear your car door slammin'
56
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
57
But I know so little about what love is
58
I just can't help actin' like a child
59
You're knockin' on my door and you're ringin' my bell
60
Hope you're not impatient after waiting so very long
61
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
62
And we're both old enough to know right from wrong
63
Tonight is the night
64
That you make me a woman, mmm
65
You said you'll be gentle with me
66
And I-I hope you will, hmm, mmm
67
I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
68
Waitin' for you to walk in
69
Tryin' hard to relax
70
But I just can't keep still
71
Mmm, hey, baby
72
Ho, ho, baby
73
Ho, yeah, yeah
74
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
75
And catch us doin' what we're doin'
76
Not only will I never live it down
77
But my whole family relationship it'll all be ruined
78
But we've gone a little bit too far now
79
Oh, to turn around
80
So let's just pray
81
That true love is what we've found
82
Tonight, tonight
83
Tonight, tonight
84
Ho, I'll never forget tonight
85
No, no, I'll never forget tonight
86
That's when you make me feel real, mmm, hmm
87
You make me feel real, real good
88
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, whoa
89
Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
90
Said I've got to thank your love
91
Cause you make me feel good
92
And I love you, baby
93
I love you and I know it
94
And I ain't too proud to show it
95
Cause I love you, baby
96
And I need you, baby

98
My, my, my baby
