Start Jamming...
[Dm] [F]
I don't believe in first impressions, just this once I hope that it looks dull to see.
I ain't got time for superficial, [Bb] [C] gotta make the move right now, got to meet that girl
[Bb] [Am] somehow, get it right [Ab] the first time, [G] that's the main thing.
[Bb] Oh, [C] I [F] can't afford to let it [Am] pass, get it [Ebm] right the next time, [G] that's not the same [Bb] thing.
Oh, [C]
gonna make the [F] first time best.
[Dm] La-la-la-la-la-la [G]-la [A]-la, [Bb] la-la [C]-la-la-la-la [F]-la-la-la-lo.
[Dm] La-la-la-la-la-la [Em]-la-la [A]-la, [Bb] la-la-la-la-la-la-la [F]-la-la.
I'm not much good at conversation, I never was much good at coming on real strong.
But if all it takes is inspiration, [Gm] then [C] I might have just what it takes.
I don't make no [Bb] bad mistakes [Am] and I get it [Ebm] right the first time, cause [G] that's the main [Bb] thing.
Oh, [C] I can't afford to [F] let it pass.
[Am] Get it [Ab] right the [D] next time, [Gm] that's not the same [Bb] thing.
Oh, [C]
gonna make it [F] first time less.
[Dm] La, la, la, la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [A] [C] la, la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, la, la, la, [Dm] la,
[D] [G] la, la, la, [A] [Bb] la, la, la, la, [C]
la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, la, la.
[C] [D] I might find the [C] courage, [F] yeah.
I might get up and learn.
[Gm] But each my time, it ain't just [Bb] right, what purpose would that [C] serve.
I don't [D] know
[C] [F] how to say those first few words
[Gm] If I want to put [Am] myself in [Bbm] touch
The first few [C] moments mean so [F] much
I suppose it's now or never
If all that woman walks right out of my life
Well just let me pull myself together
[C] I'll give it one good try
Gonna take my [Bb] chance [C] tonight
And get it [D] right the first time
[Gm] That's the main [Bb] thing
Oh, [C] I can't afford to [F] let it pass
[Am] Get it [Ebm] right the next time
That's not the [G] same [Bb] thing
Oh, gonna make a [F] first time bless
[Dm] La la la la la la [G] la la
[A] Oh [Bb] la la [F] la la la la la la
Oh [Dm] la
[A] la la [Bb] la la la la [F] la
La la la la la la la la
