The First Night

(album: The Boy Is Mine - 1998)

[Jermaine Dupri:]
Come on
Baby, baby, tell me what's up?
Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up?
Huh? Huh?
Baby, baby, tell me what's up?
Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up?
Huh? What?
Baby, baby, tell me what's up?
Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up?
Huh? Huh?
Baby, baby, tell me what's up?
Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up?
Huh? Huh? What?

[Monica:]
Boy, this evening, was it only me?
Feeling completely down to be open
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't wanna say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong for feeling this way
Especially the thought of getting in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night, I had to decide
I was thinking

I should make a move but I won't (I should, I should)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move, but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night

We were chilling, watching your TV
I thought you was coming close as you got to me
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And somehow, in one night, discover I love you
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carrying on
Trying to say things to get me to stay
But my watch tells me it's getting too late
I'm thinking

I should make a move, but I won't (I should, I should)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong (No way)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night (I don't, I don't get down, baby)
I should make a move, but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
(You're probably thinking something is wrong)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night

(If) If you want me
You got to know me (You got to know me)
And if you want my love (My love)
You gotta win my love

Hey, baby
That's the way it's got to be, yeah
Get to know me (Get to know me)
So we can do this

I should make a move
I know you're probably thinking (I won't, I won't, babe)
Knowing if I do (I won't, I won't, baby, yeah, yeah)
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move, but I won't (No, no, no)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong (No, no, no)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
I should make a move, but I won't (I should make a move)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
(Probably thinking something's wrong)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right (No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't get down on the first night (The first night)
I should make a move, but I won't (I should, baby)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong (I should baby, yeah, yeah)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night (No, no, no, no, no)

I should make a move, but I won't (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
(You're probably thinking something is wrong)
Knowing if I do that it won't be right (No, no, no, no)
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move, but I won't
I know you're probably thinking something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
