Lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh
 I wanna, I, I, I wanna
 I, I, I-wan, I, I, I wanna
 I know you not gonna sing that song
 I know you not gonna sing that song
 I know you not gonna sing that song
 I know you not gonna sing that song
 ♪
 Tonight is the night
 That you make me a woman (I like the music) mmm
 You said you'll be gentle with me
 And I, I hope you will, mmm
 I'm nervous (Nervous) and I'm tremblin' (Tremblin')
 Waiting 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 acting 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 (Make me a woman)
 You said you'll be gentle with me
 And I, I hope you will, mmm
 I'm nervous (Nervous) and I'm tremblin' (Tremblin')
 Waiting for you to walk in
 Tryin' hard to relax
 But I just can't keep still
 Promises have to be fulfilled tonight (Tonight is the night)
 No more saying "Tomorrow"
 To make everything alright (I know you not gonna sing that song)
 You know that pleasure is only one kiss away, ow
 You shall command me I will obey
 And it won't be long now
 No, no, no, no, no, no, it won't be long now
 Ah, hey, baby
 Ho, ho, baby
 Ho-oh, uh, yeah
 Ahh
 ♪
 But what if my mama should come home early (Pain)
 And catch us doin' what we're doing (After the pain)
 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
 Baby, that ain't samplin', that's stealin'
 What's the matter can't you fight with no feeling?
 You oughta come clean with the real deal
 If you had real talent, you wouldn't have to steal
 Dr. Freeze, that was cold for stopping your tracks
 You stole my song now I'm taking it back (Back, back) huh
 You're the Milli Vanilli of the writing world
 Such a big, big man to steal from a girl
 ♪
 Did you think I was asleep or dead and gone
 Baby, even in my sleep I keep my ears on (I know you not gonna sing that son)
 Further more, huh
 I was singing and rapping
 When the doctor was slapping your butt trynna wake you up
 And guess what I'm probably old enough to to be ya momma
 And another thing, I'm proud to be a member of the not the sugar hill
 But the over the hill gang
 But you can't join, baby, you know why?
 'Cause you can't sing, ha, ha (Ms. Betty Wright)
 Don't build your happiness on another man's sorrow
 What you steal today, you'll pay for tomorrow
 You want a sure shot so you steal a hit
 And put a bad attitude and a voice on it
 You're scared of failure so you take a treasure
 And turn it into one stupid night of pleasure
 You give me pain, why don't you use your brain that's your real tool
 Lucky for you God said, "Call no man a fool"
 (I know you not gonna sing that song)
 Just start giving credit where credit is due and money too
 You samplin' suckas this song is for you (You, you)
 I'm gonna sing my song, oh
 I'm gonna sing my song (I know you not gonna sing that song)
 I said, I'm gonna sing my song (I know you not gonna sing that song)
 You can rap if you wanna all day long but, I'm gonna sing my song
 I love you, I know it
 I ain't too proud to show it
 I love you, I know it
 And I ain't too proud to show it
 Ain't too proud to show it
 Said I ain't too proud to show it
 Ah, I ain't too proud to show it
 Hey, I'm just doin' what I'm called to do (Tonight is the night)
 I ain't worried'bout you (I'm gonna love you down)
 Woah-oh, woah-oh
 I said, I'm gonna sing it
 I'm gonna sing
 As long as the lord give me breath in my body
 I'm gonna sing, huh
 I'm gonna sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it
 Oh, I'm gonna sing
 I'm gonna sing
 Al Green's, gon' sing
 Aretha Franklin's, gonna sing
 Chaka khan's, gonna sing
 Regina Belle's, gonna sing
 Patti Labelle, she gon' sing
 'Cause she can sing, huh
