Betty’s still got it.  What would the 2009 version of this sound like?  Who would perform it? There’s very little, real, raw emotion, anticipation or substance in today’s lyrics. Ok, I take that back.  There is, but you’ve got to dig REAL deep to find them.  We’ll be bringing you many  of them.  Stay tuned.

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm…
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, mmm…mmm…

I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still, no

I can hear your car door slammin’
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just can’t help actin’ like a child

You’re knockin’ on my door and you’re ringin’ my bell
Hope you’re not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we’re both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm…
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm…mmm…
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
Tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still
