February 14, 1989
That day be forever sired into my mind
That's the day I went to my first middle school dance
Rocked a clip on tie, suit jacket and pants
To top it off, I had my first date with a hunny
Took me a whole month to tell my moms and my poppy
Practiced dancing in secret so no one could top me
Emulating all the moves of Whitney and Bobby
Even got my girl a wrist corsage
Flower so big take up most of her forearm
Shaved for the first time, put on some hair gel
Come down the stairs, mom says I'm looking swell
Trying to get out the door, don't wanna be late
The phone rings... Yo! it's my date
"Can't wait to see you" is what she said
My palms all sweaty and I'm thinking in my head...
Chorus:
It feels like love (x4)
My moms drops me off, I nervously go inside
Pay my 2 dollars head straight for the guys
At the snack table, downing Cheeto Puffs and soda
Everybody's cologne combining for one nasty oder
Oh shoot, there's my girl chatting with her friends
Don't know what to say so I pretend
That, I don't see her as I'm chilling on the wall
Milli Vanilli bumping but know one dancing at all
"Go dance with her!," my homies give the dare
They push me onto the dance floor, I'm the only one there
Act like i don't care, as all the girls stare
Next thing you know they're heading to the bathroom in pairs
Try my best not to look as she strolls by my way
But it's too late, eye contact is made
She's just waved at me, Uh Oh now she's winking
I'm feeling all tingly and now I'm thinking...
Chorus:
The DJ playing Bust A Move
I muster up the nerve and that is what I do
Walk across the cafeteria she's standing there
Try to find the words, as I'm staring at her poofy hair
"Would you like to dance?" I managed to say
"Yeah!" she said, then I showed her the way
To the dance floor, the DJ's playing Richard Marx
"I'll be Waiting For You" I hear the song start
Not sure what to do, but what the heck
I put my hands around her hips she put her arms around my neck
Then we start move side to side to the beat
Trying to make sure that I don't step on her feet
But that was easy, cause we be standing far away
Moving in constant circles as we sway
"Does it feel OK the way I'm dancing here?"
She leaned over and whispered in my ear...
