[A] [Bm]
[A]
[D] Tonight is [Em] the night [D] that you make me [Em] a woman.
[D] You said [Em] you'll be gentle with me [D] and I hope [Em] you will.
[D] I'm nervous, [G] I'm trembling, [D] waiting [Em] for you to walk [Bm] in.
I'm trying hard to relax, [G] but I [D] just can't keep still, [G] no.
[D] [Em] I can hear your car door slamming.
[D] I wanna play big [Em] girl and put on a sexy smile.
[D] But I know [Em] so little about what [D] love is.
I [Em] just need help [G] acting like a child.
[D] You're knocking [Em] on my door and you're ringing my [D] bell.
Hope you're not [Em] impatient after waiting so [D] very long.
Oh, [Em] yeah, I put you up with my silly [D] hang-ups.
And we're [Em] both old enough to know right from [D] wrong.
Tonight [Em] is the night [D] that you make [Em] me a woman.
[D] You said [Em] you'll be gentle with me [D] and I hope [Em] you will.
[G]
[D] I'm nervous, [G] I'm trembling, [D] waiting for [Em] you to walk [Bm] in.
I'm trying hard to relax, [G] but I [D] just can't keep [A] still.
[D] [Am] Hey, baby.
[A] [F#m] [A] Oh, oh, baby.
[Em] Oh,
[A] yeah.
[Em] Yeah!
[D] Oh!
What if [Em] my mama should come home [D] early and [Em] catch us doing [Bm] what we're [D] doing?
[Em] Not only will I never live it down, [D] but my whole family [Em] relationship, it'll all be ruined.
[D] [Em] But we've gone a little bit too far [D] now, [Em] oh, to turn around.
[D] So let's [Em] just pray [D] that true love is what [Em] we find.
[A] Tonight, tonight, tonight, [G] tonight.
[A] Oh, I'll never forget [Em] tonight.
No, [D] no, I'll never forget tonight.
[G]
[A] When you made me feel real.
[D] You made me feel [Em] real, [D] real good.
