Monica - The First Night Lyrics






[JD:]
Baby baby tell me whats up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh huh)
Baby baby tell me whats up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh what)
Baby baby tell me whats up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh huh)
Baby baby tell me whats up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh what)

[Monica:]
Boy this evening was it only me
Feeling completly down to be open
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'...

I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night

I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night

[Monica:]
We were chillin' watching your T.V.
I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And some how in one night, discover I love you
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we're carryin' on
Tryin' to say things to get me to stay
But my watch is telling me it's getting to late, I'm thinkin'...

I should make a move but I won't
I know your probly thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night

If you, want me, you got to know me
And if you want my love (My love) you gotta wait my love
Ba Baby that's the way its got to be
Get to know me (Get to know me) so we can do this, Oooohhh

I should [echo]
I know your probably thinkin' [echo]
(I want I want babe)
Knowin' if I do [echo] (I want I want babe)
I don't get down, on the first night

I should make a move, but I won't
I know your probably thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night

  51. A.... D....

    Oct 2019 still here

  52. S.... L....

    Monica covered her tattoo on her left arm because it was too inappropriate for her young audience. I miss these days of modesty and DOPE TUNES! Miss this era so much when it was all about the music! 2019 still my jam!❤️

    c.... h....

    I guess you have a point, most of the world is religious. Point taken.

    c.... h....

    @cj hepburn My friend's daughter gives it up on the first night then wonders why her relationships don't last. And the ones that do last are with men who are pieces of shit.

  63. c.... h....

    #Reminiscing #DopeMusic #StillLitIn2019

  74. T.... M....

    The video and song are STILL amazing tbh.

  75. M.... B....

    Monica def not a dancer lol

  76. A.... N....

    Monica is da bomb.

  77. G.... n....

  78. a.... ....

    Love this song

  79. L.... ....

    This song is so catchy & addictive; i love it even after all those years.

  80. G.... D....

    Monica my top 5❤

  81. P.... B....

    JD was the Diddy of So So Def

  82. D.... ....

    Monica, Aaliyah, Brandy, Mya...this is when 90s Female R&B singers were naturally beautiful, no butt implants, no twerking, no ratchedness.

  83. M.... B....

    I love this song & video. The dance number was my favorite. I would kill this sound in a karaoke battle. Ijs

  84. C.... B....

    Does anyone know why Monica wears a white wrap on her upper left arm?????

    C.... B....

    Clovis Bessard she had got a tattoo and around that time in the 90s they were trying to keep her image clean (Clive Davis)

  85. C.... N....

    On my smartphone this looks brand new instead of 21 years old. 😃

  86. G.... T....

    I still love this! Classic!

  87. A.... W....

    according to whenwasiconcieved.com this was the top song when i was conceived lmaooo

  88. J.... H....

    God- going down memory lane almost brings me to tears ! I recall when this song was poppin" and I'm from a small town where there is a county fair every fall and it's a huge deal . This song was bumping from a few of the rides and every time I hear of it that's what I remember . Man ,those were good times 😭😭. It's crazy how Monica had to disguise her arm tat with that arm band - what does it matter ? Anyway I love Monica she's amazing now and she was back then as well

  89. R.... M....

    It's Bobby brown's "on our own" with different lyrics

  90. C.... G....

    I miss Aaliyah. Monica was always trying to be like her. I don’t mind just really miss her. These girls nowadays are tormented and if they don’t do it Hollywood says then they will never get a chance. Too bad the younger generation is it being raised that you don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy

  91. S.... R....

    2019💯 always Monica

  92. R.... W....

    Shout-out Diana Ross

  93. B.... ....

    Man the video dance breaks were everything back then also!!!!

  94. T.... ....

    2019 still listening Sing Monica!

  95. B.... t....

    2019 and still know the lyrics and choreography

  96. T.... N....

    J.D did magic on this one, also goes to Usher's my way...timeless

  97. A.... J....

    Soon as seen this video and I had long hair I started rocking my hair just like Monica's

  98. E.... F....

    Even the biblical God ask questions.
