Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – original guitar-and-synth hook, pulsing bass]
[Verse 1 – warm lower female register]
I've seen you here a time or two,
But never found my way to you.
You catch me looking, then you smile,
I hold your gaze a little while.
[Pre-Chorus – gently building]
My friends are calling from the door,
I let them go and cross the floor.
[Chorus – strong, melodic female singing]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Instrumental Break – repeat the main riff]
[Verse 2]
I ask your name, you ask for mine,
We talk and lose all track of time.
You say that you were nervous too,
I say, “I'm glad I came to you.”
[Chorus]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Instrumental Solo – expressive electric guitar, answering synth melody]
[Bridge – intimate female voice, soft pads]
You take my hand and ask me to stay,
And I don't have to look away.
[Final Chorus – fuller arrangement, layered female harmonies]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Outro – softly sung]
The first move…
We can take our time.
[Instrumental Outro – main riff fading]
[Verse 1 – warm lower female register]
I've seen you here a time or two,
But never found my way to you.
You catch me looking, then you smile,
I hold your gaze a little while.
[Pre-Chorus – gently building]
My friends are calling from the door,
I let them go and cross the floor.
[Chorus – strong, melodic female singing]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Instrumental Break – repeat the main riff]
[Verse 2]
I ask your name, you ask for mine,
We talk and lose all track of time.
You say that you were nervous too,
I say, “I'm glad I came to you.”
[Chorus]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Instrumental Solo – expressive electric guitar, answering synth melody]
[Bridge – intimate female voice, soft pads]
You take my hand and ask me to stay,
And I don't have to look away.
[Final Chorus – fuller arrangement, layered female harmonies]
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
I'll make the first move,
I'll say what's on my mind.
I want to get to know you,
We can take our time.
[Outro – softly sung]
The first move…
We can take our time.

Style of Music
Mid-1980s romantic synth-pop and dance-rock with an Italo-disco pulse, 108 BPM, 4/4. Expressive solo female mezzo-soprano, smoky lower notes, warm resonant middle register, clear English diction. Intimate rhythmic verses opening into a powerful melodic chorus with controlled intensity and smooth sustained notes. An original syncopated electric-guitar riff doubled by analog synth provides the main instrumental hook. Pulsing sequenced bass, punchy drum-machine kick, gated snare, restrained tom fills, bright keyboard accents and atmospheric string pads. Mysterious anticipation developing into confidence and romantic warmth. Simple memorable chorus, natural word stress, breathing space between phrases. Short rising pre-chorus, recurring instrumental hook, lyrical guitar-and-synth solo, quiet bridge and fuller final chorus with layered female harmonies. Spacious polished vintage production. No screaming, piercing high notes, harsh growling, excessive vocal runs or modern EDM drops.
