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

E minorEm D MajorD
I just can't help actin' like a child
E minorEm D MajorD
You're knockin' on my door and you're ringin' my bell
