[Verse 1]
Lately I've been out, hung up on this one girl
You know the type, out every busy night
I like her flavor but this one thing got me grinded:
She never talks to me before I'm talking to her
Every time is the same situation
She wants me to be a proper gentleman
Holding doors, buying drinks, be polite to her friends
Just so that I can have my weekend romance

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, has no-one told you (Uooh)
Why she's so cold to you? (Uooooh)
She's never had a man
So you gotta make her feel your intentions are real

[Chorus]
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Don't wait for them! Don't wait for them!
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Don't wait for them! Don't wait for them!

[Verse 2]
I know this guy he is probably 35 now
Dark and tall, you'd think he has it all
On good behavior and he never breaks a promise
But in his double bed he's always sleeping alone
Last year there was a girl around
She asked him to walk her home from town
He said politely no, he did not understand
That all she ever wanted was the touch of his hand
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, why is he so alone? Uooh
He's never with someone
Could it be that no one told him:
If you hold a woman dear, boy, you better make it clear

[Chorus]
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Don't wait for them! Don't wait for them!
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Be a proper gentleman and make the first move
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Don't wait for them! Don't wait for them!
You gotta move, gotta make the first move
Do yourself a favor now and make the first move
