When I close my eyes
I see me and you at the prom
We've both been waiting so long
For this day to come
Now that it's here
Let's make it special
There's so many thoughts in my mind
The D.J.'s playing my favorite song
Ain't no chaperones
This could be the night
Of your dreams
Only if you give
Give the first dance to me
Girl I promise I'll be gentle
I know we got to do it slowly
If you give
Give the first dance to me
I'm gon' cherish every moment
'cause it only happens once
Once in a lifetime
I couldn't ask for more
We're rocking back and forth
Under the disco ball
We're the only ones on the floor
There's so many thoughts in my mind
The D.J.'s playing my favorite song
Now we're all alone
Here's the opportunity
Only if you give
Give the first dance to me
Girl I promise I'll be gentle
I know we got to do it slowly
If you give
Give the first dance to me
I'm gon' cherish every moment
'cause it only happens once
Once in a lifetime
Everybody says that
We look cute together
Let's make this a night
The two of us remember
No teachers around
To see us dancing close
I'm telling you
Our parents will never know
Before the lights go up
And the music turns off
Now's the perfect time for me
To taste your lip gloss
Your glass slippers
In my hand right here
We'll make it before
The clock strikes nine
If you just give
Give the first dance to me
Girl I promise I'll be gentle
But we got to do it slowly
If you give
Give the first dance to me
I'm gon' cherish every moment
'cause it only happens once
Once in a lifetime
It's your chance
Take her hand to the floor
To the floor
Girl if you see something
You like then let them know
Because you only got one chance
For your first dance
So take advantage of
The slow jam yeah man
If you give
Give the first dance to me
I'm gon' cherish every moment
'cause it only happens once
Once in a lifetime
