The First Night
Monica(모니카) Lyrics

Baby baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Asking if the person can hear her and if there's anything they need to discuss.

Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh huh)
Wondering if the volume needs to be increased so they can communicate better.

Boy this evening was it only me
Asking if she was the only one feeling a certain way that night.

Feeling completely down to be open
Feeling vulnerable and open to exploring a new relationship.

Down to be open for some satisfaction
Open to finding emotional and physical satisfaction in a relationship.

Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
Hesitant to agree to something because of fear of the other person's reaction.

I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Acknowledging that she knew it was wrong to feel a certain way about someone so soon.

Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Feeling uneasy about the idea of engaging in physical intimacy on the first date.

Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
The idea of physical intimacy on the first date kept weighing on her mind.

At the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'...
Thinking about what she wanted to do at the end of the night.

I should make a move but I won't
Wanting to engage in physical intimacy, but deciding against it.

I know your probably thinkin' something is wrong
Recognizing that the other person may be wondering why she's not making a move.

Knowing if I do that it won't be right
Realizing that engaging in physical intimacy on the first night may not be the best decision.

I don't get down on the first night
Making it clear that she doesn't engage in physical intimacy on the first night.

We was chillin' watching your T.V.
Describing a moment of relaxation with the other person.

I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me
Feeling that physical intimacy was becoming more likely as they got closer.

Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
Feeling physical desire for the other person.

And some how in one night, discover I love you
Feeling that she has developed strong feelings for the other person in just one night.

Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
Struggling with the decision of whether to engage in physical intimacy or not.

And look how we're carryin' on
Noticing that the conversation is becoming strained because of the tension between them.

Tryin' to say things to get me to stay
The other person is attempting to persuade her to spend more time together.

But my watch is telling me it's getting to late, I'm thinkin'...
Realizing that it's getting late and she needs to make a decision about whether to stay or go.

And then you probably thinkin' something is wrong
Acknowledging that the other person may be confused about her decision to leave.

I wanna get down, but not the first night
Feeling a desire for physical intimacy in the future, but not on the first night.

Bridge: If you, want me, you got to know me (Got to know me)
Stating that to be in a relationship with her, the other person needs to get to know her.

And if you want my love (My love) you gotta wait my love
Expressing that the other person needs to be patient if they want her love.

Ba Baby that's the way its got to be
Asserting that waiting to get to know each other is the right thing to do.

Get to know me (Get to know me) so we can do this, Oooohhh
Encouraging the other person to take the time to get to know her so they can have a relationship in the future.
