Tonight Is The Night Lyrics - Betty Wright

First of all I'd like to say good evening 

And we're 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 that's just what we have in mind 

Is that alright with you 

Now, this is a tune that I composed 

And it's 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 

It's happening every day 

And people wanna hear about it, Betty' 

You see, it's 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 I'm the baby of the family 

And you know you never grow up to your mother 

I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her 

She said, 'Uh, I like the music 

You know, baby, the melody it's really nice 

But I know you're 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 I'll 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 don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song 

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 

Here's my story

Hmm... hmm... mmm... mmm... 

Tonight is the night 

That you make me a woman, mmm... 

You said you'll be gentle with me 

And I-I hope you will, mmm... mmm... 

I'm nervous and I'm tremblin' 

Waitin' for you to walk in 

I'm tryin' hard to relax 

But I just can't 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 can't help actin' like a child 

You're knockin' on my door and you're ringin' my bell 

Hope you're not impatient after waiting so very long 

A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups 

And we're both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night 

That you make me a woman, mmm... 

You said you'll be gentle with me 

And I-I hope you will, hmm... mmm... 

I'm nervous and I'm tremblin' 

Waitin' for you to walk in 

Tryin' hard to relax 

But I just can't 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 we're doin' 

Not only will I never live it down 

But my whole family relationship it'll all be ruined 

But we've gone a little bit too far now 

Oh, to turn around 

So let's just pray 

That true love is what we've found 

Tonight, tonight 

Tonight, tonight 

Ho, I'll never forget tonight 

No, no, I'll never forget tonight 

That's 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 I've 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 ain't 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 

I'll never forget tonight 

No, I'll 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 

There's nothin' phony about it 

Uh-uh, pure love 

Your love I can't do without it 

Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh 

I love him, I know it 

I ain't too proud to show it 

I love him, I know it 

I ain't too proud to show it 

I love him, I know it 

I ain't too proud to show it 

I love him, I know it 

And I ain't too proud to show it 

Tonight, tonight 

Tonight, tonight 

Mmm... mmm... mmm... 

Thank you
