Lyrics:

First of all Id like to say good evening
And were 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 thats just what we have in mind
Is that alright with you
Now, this is a tune that I composed
And its 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
Its happening every day
And people wanna hear about it, Betty
You see, its 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 Im the baby of the family
And you know you never grow up to your mother
Ill never forget the way she looked at me when I played it forher
She said, Uh, I like the music
You know, baby, the melody its really nice
But I know youre 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 Ill 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 dont want you waitin till I get to the end of mysong
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
Heres my story

Hmm...hmm...mmm...mmm...

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said youll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, mmm...mmm...

Im nervous and Im tremblin
Waitin for you to walk in
Im tryin hard to relax
But I just cant 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 cant help actin like a child

Youre knockin on my door and youre ringin my bell
Hope youre not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And were both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said youll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm...mmm...
Im nervous and Im tremblin
Waitin for you to walk in
Tryin hard to relax
But I just cant 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 were doin
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship itll all be ruined
But weve gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to turn around
So lets just pray
That true love is what weve found

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Ho, Ill never forget tonight
No, no, Ill never forget tonight
Thats 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 Ive 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 aint 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
Ill never forget tonight
No, Ill 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
Theres nothin phony about it
Uh-uh, pure love
Your love I cant do without it
Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh

I love him, I know it
I aint too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I aint too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I aint too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
And I aint too proud to show it

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
