We've got something and it sure is fine
Let's take our love one night at a time
There's one thing that we both agree
I like you, and, baby, you like me
Let's take our love one night at a time
Practice makes perfect, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right one night at a time
All night, love all night
Practice makes perfect, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right one night at a time
Oh, I think about you all day long
It feels so good, it can't be wrong
I got my fingers crossed that this goes on and on
Tomorrow, well, that's another day
Come on, baby; now, what do you say?
Let's take our love one night at a time
All night, love all night
Practice makes perfect, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right one night at a time
All night, love all night

Gonna get it right one night at a time
Oh, I think about you all day long

The singer understands that he and his lover may not belong to each other, but they have something special that's worth holding on to. He suggests that they should take things one day at a time and make the most of the present moment. "Let's take our love one night at a time" is a reminder that they shouldn't refer to the future, but instead, they should cherish the present and the love that they share.
The chorus, "All night, love all night, Practice makes perfect, gonna get it right, gonna get it right one night at a time," reinforces the idea that they should proceed carefully, taking their time to savor each moment, to learn from each other, and to grow together.

The song is uplifting and optimistic, conveying the idea that love is worth the effort and that taking things one day at a time is essential in any relationship. In summary, the song offers a message about enjoying the time we have to love and to be loved; we should focus on the present and cherish every moment.
