Dusty Springfield Getting It Right song lyrics

(S. Tyrell / S. Tyrell / C. Townes)

Hey boy, don't be shy

Waiting all alone

Think about what you can give

Some boys never learn

That's the way to live

And it's the secret

To getting it right

Living carefully, always filled with doubt

Scared to make a move too soon

Just once, take a chance

She will take one, too

'Cause that's the secret

To getting it right

It's not who loves you as how much do you love

And what's in your heart that shows what you're made of

You're made of love, hey, boy

It's all right

Someone understands

You don't have so far to go

Reach out for her hand

Then you'll really know

The secret to getting it right

You're made of love, hey, boy

It's all right

Someone understands

You don't have so far to go

Reach out for her hand

Then you'll really know

The secret to getting it right

Reach out, take her hand

Then you'll really know

You'll know that you're getting it right

Yes, you'll know that you're getting it right
