[00:07.59]First of all I'd like to say good evening
[00:10.32]And we're so pleased that
[00:11.91]So many of you could come out and share
[00:14.34]In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
[00:18.39]We want you to have a real good time
[00:21.00]'Cause that's just what we have in mind
[00:23.34]Is that alright with you
[00:26.73]Now, this is a tune that I composed
[00:30.51]And it's called
[00:32.13]Tonight is the night
[00:36.66]That you make me a woman
[00:38.67]Now I never intended recording this song
[00:43.59]It was a personal poem
[00:45.42]This is until the day that my producer
[00:48.48]Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
[00:51.48]He came across the words and he said
[00:53.64]'We got to somethin' with these words
[00:55.83]It's happening every day
[00:57.63]And people wanna hear about it, Betty'
[00:59.49]You see, it's the story of a young girl
[01:05.97]Making love for the very first time
[01:12.30]Now when I finally got a melody
[01:17.31]I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
[01:22.68]Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
[01:25.77]You see I come from one of those pretty large families
[01:28.35]And I'm the baby of the family
[01:29.88]And you know you never grow up to your mother
[01:33.30]I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
[01:36.63]She said, 'Uh, I like the music
[01:41.52]You know, baby, the melody it's really nice
[01:45.12]But I know you're not gonna sing that song'
[01:47.37]But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
[01:52.32]And it became one of my biggest records too
[01:54.72]So I want you to do this for me if you will
[01:58.29]Everybody think back to your very first time
[02:18.15]Now I'll give you a little while longer
[02:19.74]'Cause I know some of you
[02:21.30]Have to think back a little further than others
[02:26.34]Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
[02:28.32]'Cause I don't want you waitin' till I get to the end of my song
[02:31.38]Sayin', 'Oh, yeah, now I remember'
[02:33.69]Now whether it was good
[02:39.57]Or you just smilin' it was good
[02:42.63]Or on the other hand if it was not so good
[02:46.20]Here's my story
[02:47.25]Hmm...hmm...mmm...mmm...
[02:58.92]Tonight is the night
[03:03.81]That you make me a woman, mmm...
[03:08.43]You said you'll be gentle with me
[03:11.61]And I-I hope you will, mmm...mmm...
[03:17.82]I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
[03:21.18]Waitin' for you to walk in
[03:28.44]I'm tryin' hard to relax
[03:30.51]But I just can't keep still, no
[03:37.41]I can hear your car door slammin'
[03:39.24]I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
[03:46.26]But I know so little about what love is
[03:51.36]I just can't help actin' like a child
[03:55.56]You're knockin' on my door and you're ringin' my bell
[04:00.33]Hope you're not impatient after waiting so very long
[04:04.14]A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
[04:09.75]And we're both old enough to know right from wrong
[04:13.29]Tonight is the night
[04:17.79]That you make me a woman, mmm...
[04:24.27]You said you'll be gentle with me
[04:27.93]And I-I hope you will, hmm...mmm...
[04:30.27]I'm nervous and I'm tremblin'
[04:39.00]Waitin' for you to walk in
[04:43.50]Tryin' hard to relax
[04:46.32]But I just can't keep still
[04:49.56]Mmm...hey, baby
[04:55.05]Ho, ho, baby
[05:04.44]Ho...yeah...yeah...
[05:10.47]Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
[05:16.50]And catch us doin' what we're doin'
[05:21.06]Not only will I never live it down
[05:24.09]But my whole family relationship it'll all be ruined
[05:30.69]But we've gone a little bit too far now
[05:35.46]Oh, to turn around
[05:39.42]So let's just pray
[05:42.63]That true love is what we've found
[05:45.24]Tonight, tonight
[05:50.01]Tonight, tonight
[05:56.52]Ho, I'll never forget tonight
[06:00.63]No, no, I'll never forget tonight
[06:05.94]That's when you make me feel real, mmm...hmm...
[06:11.37]You make me feel real, real good
[06:13.32]Oh...oh...whoa...oh...oh...whoa...whoa...
[06:24.81]Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
