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

(Chorus)
I Wanna Do It Right The First Time
A permanent love, not a passing fling
And I ain't looking for perfection
I'm looking for a natural thing.

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

(Chorus)
I Wanna Do It Right The First Time
A permanent love, not a passing fling
And I ain't looking for perfection
I'm looking for a natural thing.
