First Date

Tell me why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
Tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?

I'm standing at your gate trying to say goodnight
Something is a-missing, something just ain't right
Seems a natural thing to do
Everything was going right, what's come over you?

Tell me why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
Tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?

Say you'd like to do it but you think it's premature
I know your lips are willing but your mind's not sure
Why can't you give in, let nature take its course?
Give in to your feeling though it's the first

Tell me why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
Tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?

You say your mama say it shouldn't be that way
Don't be hasty
You say your mama say it shouldn't be that way
Got to be a lady
You say your mama say it shouldn't be that way
Don't be hasty
You say your mama say it shouldn't be that way
Got to be a lady

Tell me why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
Tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?

You say you'd like to do it but you think it's premature
I know your lips are willing but your mind ain't sure
Why can't you give in, let nature take its course?
Give in to the feeling even though it's the first

Tell me why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
Tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?

Tell me why, why, why, why
Why can't I kiss you on the first date?
And tell me where
Where is it written that I have to wait?
