Tonight Is the Night Betty Wright

[Spoken Intro]
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
That 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 gotta do 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 gotta 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 bit further than others
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
'Cause I don't want you waitin' 'til I get to the end of my song
Sayin', 'Oh, yeah, now I remember'
Now, whether it was good
Oh, you just smilin', it was good
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
Here's my story
