I WANNA DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
(Linda Hargrove)


Linda Hargrove - 1975


Kinfolks say, "Chile, why ain't you married?
You're gonna be an old maid all your life
Hey, a-how come you ain't found yourself a husband?
Or don't you wanna be some good man's wife?"

I wanna do it right the first time
A permanent love, not a passing thing
And I ain't lookin' for perfection
I'm looking for a natural thing

Love don't have to know one day of sorrow, oh no
True love overcomes all misery
And maybe I will find that love tomorrow
But until I do, my heart belongs to me

I wanna do it right the first time
A permanent love, not a passing thing, no no
And I ain't lookin' for perfection
I'm looking for a natural thing

I'm looking for a natural thing
I'm looking for a natural thing
Yeah, I'm looking for a natural thing
Oh, I'm looking for a natural thing
