First of all Iād like to say good evening
And weāre 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
āCause thatās just what we have in mind
Is that alright with you
Now, this is a tune that I composed
And itās 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
āWe got to somethinā with these words
Itās happening every day
And people wanna hear about it, Bettyā
You see, itās 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 Iām the baby of the family
And you know you never grow up to your mother
Iāll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it forher
She said, āUh, I like the music
You know, baby, the melody itās really nice
But I know youāre not gonna sing that songā
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 Iāll give you a little while longer
āCause I know some of you
Have to think back a little further than others
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
āCause I donāt want you waitinā till I get to the end of my song
Sayinā, āOh, yeah, now I rememberā
Now whether it was good
Or you just smilinā it was good
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
Hereās my story
Hm, hm, mm, mm
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mm
You said youāll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, mm, mm
Iām nervous and Iām tremblinā
Waitinā for you to walk in
Iām tryinā hard to relax
But I just canāt keep still, no
I can hear your car door slamminā
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just canāt help actinā like a child
Youāre knockinā on my door and youāre ringinā my bell
Hope youāre not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And weāre both old enough to know right from wrong
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mm,
You said youāll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm, mm,
Iām nervous and Iām tremblinā
Waitinā for you to walk in
Tryinā hard to relax
But I just canāt keep still
Mm, hey, baby
Ho, ho, baby
Ho, yeah, yeah
Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
And catch us doinā what weāre doinā
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship itāll all be ruined
But weāve gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to turn around
So letās just pray
That true love is what weāve found
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Ho, Iāll never forget tonight
No, no, Iāll never forget tonight
Thatās when you make me feel real, mm, hm
You make me feel real, real good
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, whoa,
Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
Said Iāve got to thank your love
āCause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
I love you and I know it
And I aināt too proud to show it
āCause I love you, baby
And I need you, baby
I want you, my love, my love
My, my, my baby
Iāll never forget tonight
No, Iāll never forget tonight
āCause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
You make me feel real good
And I love you, baby
āCause 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
Thereās nothinā phony about it
Uh-uh, pure love
Your love I canāt do without it
Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh

I aināt too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I aināt too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
