Its your chance take her hand to the floor (to the floor)
Girl if you see something you like then let him know
Cause you only got one chance it your first dance
So take advantage of the slow dance
Yeah man
When I close my eyes I see me and you at the prom,
We've both been waitng so long for this day to come
Now that it's here lets make it special
There's so many thoughts in my mind the DJ's playing
My favorite song ain't no chaperone's this could be
The night of our dreams.
ONLY IF YOU GIVE, GIVE THE FIRST DANCE TO ME
GIRL I PROMISE I'LL BE GENTLE
I KNOW WE GOTTA DO IT SLOWLY
IF YOU GIVE, GIVE THE FIRST DANCE TO ME
IM GON' CHERISH EVERY MOMENT,
CAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE, ONCE IN A LIFE TIME.
I couldn't ask for more we're rockin' back and forth
Under the disco ball we're the only ones on the floor
So many thoughts in my mind the DJ'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 GOTTA DO IT SLOWLY
IF YOU GIVE, GIVE THE FIRST DANCE TO ME
IM GON' CHERISH EVERY MOMENT,
CAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE, ONCE IN A LIFE TIME.
Everybody says that we look cute together
Lets make this a night the two of us remember,
No teachers around to see us dancin' close
I'm tellin' 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 lipgloss,
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
I KNOW WE GOTTA DO IT SLOWLY
IF YOU GIVE, GIVE THE FIRST DANCE TO ME
IM GON' CHERISH EVERY MOMENT,
CAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE, ONCE IN A LIFE TIME.
Its your chance take her hand to the floor (to the floor)
Girl if you see something you like then let him know
Cause you only got one chance it your first dance
So take advantage of the slow dance
Yeah man
If you give, give the first dance to me
Im gon' cherish every moment
Cause it only happens once, once in a life time.
