I wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers tonight
And I expect that might be the whole world
Because everybody needs something or someone to love
When it's cold outside who are you holding?
You know, if y'all don't mind I'd like to talk about this woman of mine
She's always complainin' bout me never bein' at home
But when I'm there i'm broke
She's tellin' me about the things that her girlfriend's got
What she ain't got and she wants me to go out and get em for her
But girl, I can't be in two places at one time
If you think you're lonely now, huh
Wait until tonight, girl
(If you think you're lonely now)
I'll be long gone
(Wait until tonight, girl)
And you'll find another man that'll treat you right
When I ain't there to rub your back
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Just remember I made it a known fact
And when the skeletons come out of the closet
And chase you all around the room
And the memories sail round like a ghost
And they start spinning around like a fast Slow tune, ah
If you think you're lonely now
(If you think you're lonely now)
Oh, wait until tonight
(Wait until tonight, girl)
I'll be long gone
(If you think you're lonely now)
And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right
(You just wait until tonight, girl)
You think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl
Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn
When things aren't goin' your way?
But when love runs out and the pain walks in
And settles for a stay, ooh
Lord, help me, I feel like I wanna testify
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
Girl, wait until tonight
(Wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely, lonely now
Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl
(If you think you're lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
You see tonight's the night when the needs come out
When your needs come out to breathe
And you toast the stars and there ain't now way you can sleep, ooh
If you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl)
I feel like I wanna testify this evenin'
I'm lonely, cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl
(Wait until tonight, girl)
I just can't take no more
Ooh, hoo, hoo
(You just wait until tonight, girl)
Ah, girl, you just wait
If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Wait
Too far gone
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Like you're runnin' out
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, babe
(Wait until tonight, girl)
You say you're a little lonely
But everybody needs somebody to love
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
It's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side
That'll build you up when you're fallin' down
(Wait until tonight, girl)
And you had that someone, baby
Cause I've done my time
(Wait until tonight, girl)
And it's your turn now
If you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Wait, wait until tonight
I'm tired, tired of this same old shuck & jiving
(Wait until tonight, girl)
It's been too long
You think, you could start all over again, it's been too long
(Wait until tonight, girl)
You think you could start it just one more time
(If you think you're lonely now)
And I expect that might be the whole world
Because everybody needs something or someone to love
When it's cold outside who are you holding?
You know, if y'all don't mind I'd like to talk about this woman of mine
She's always complainin' bout me never bein' at home
