Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: Get It Right The First Time
 Lyrics for Album: The Stranger
 
 
 
 34535>I don't believe in first impressions
 For just this once I hope that looks don't deceive
 I ain't got time for true confessions
 I've got to make the move right now
 Got to meet that girl somehow
 
 CHORUS
 I've gotta get it right the first time
 That's the main thing
 I can't afford to let it pass
 You get it right the next time that's not the same thing
 Gonna have to make the first time last.
 
 I'm not much good at conversation
 I never was too smooth at comin' on real strong
 If all it takes is inspiration
 Then I might have just what it takes
 If I don't make no bad mistakes and I
 
 CHORUS
 
 I might find the courage yeah I might get up the nerve
 But if my timing ain't just right what purpose would it serve?
 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how
 To say those first few words
 
 If I want to put myself in touch
 The first few moments mean so much
 So I suppose it's now or never
 Before that woman walks right out of my life
 Just let me pull myself together
 I've got to give it one good try
 Gotta take my chance tonight
 
 CHORUS
