I want to 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 is cold, outside who are you holding?
You know, if y'all do not mind, I would like to talk about a woman of mine.
She's always complaining about me never being at home.
But when I am there broke
She is telling me about the things that her girlfriends got, What she ain't got, and she wants me to go out and get them for her
But, but girl, I cannot be in two places at one time
If you think, you are lonely now, huh. Wait until tonight, girl. (If you think, you are lonely now) I'll be long gone. (Wait until tonight, girl) And you'll find another man that will treat you right.
(If you think, you are lonely now) When I ain't there to rub your back. (Wait until tonight, girl) Just remember I made it a long fact.
And it is got to just come out of the closet and chase you all around your room and the memories sail around like a ghost, and that is a matter of fact, it is no joke, ah.
If you think, you are lonely now (If you think, you are lonely now)
Oh, wait until tonight (Wait until tonight, girl) I will be long gone
(If you think you are lonely now) and you will never find another man that will treat you right.
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think, you are lonely now) If you think, you are lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) 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.
(If you think, you are lonely now) Lord, help me, I feel like I want to testify (Wait until tonight, girl).
(If you think, you are lonely now) Girl, wait until tonight (Wait until tonight, girl) If you think, you are lonely, lonely now.
(If you think, you are lonely now)(Wait until tonight, girl) Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl.
(If you think, you are lonely now) (Wait until tonight, girl)
You see tonight is 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, oh.
(If you think, you are lonely now) If you think, you are lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) I feel like I want to testify this evening'
(If you think, you are lonely now) I am lonely, because I know I have to leave you, oh, girl
(Wait until tonight, girl) I just cannot take no more
(If you think, you are lonely now) Ooh...hoo...hoo...
(Wait until tonight, girl) Ah, girl, you just wait.
(If you think, you are lonely now) If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait.
(Wait until tonight, girl) Wait.
(If you think, you are lonely now) Too far gone.
(Wait until tonight, girl) Like you are running out
(If you think you are lonely now) Ooh...hoo...ooh...hoo, babe (Wait until tonight, girl) you say you are a little lonely.
(If you think, you are lonely now) But everybody needs somebody to love (Wait until tonight, girl).
(If you think, you are lonely now)
It is good that you know that you got somebody that will stand by your side that will build you up when you are falling down (Wait until tonight, girl) and you had the someone, baby.
(If you think, you are lonely now) beause I have done my time (Wait until tonight, girl) and it is your turn now (If you think, you are lonely now) If you think you are lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) Wait, wait until tonight.
(If you think, you are lonely now) I am tired, tired of this same old stuck in the hour
(Wait until tonight, girl) It's been too long
(If you think, you are lonely now) you think you could start all over again, it is been too long
(Wait until tonight, girl) you think you could start it just one more time.
(If you think, you are lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl).
