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 complaining 'bout me never being at home But when I'm there, I'm broke She's telling 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 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 never find another man that'll treat you right (If you think you're lonely now) when I ain't there to rub your back (Wait until tonight, girl) just remember I made it a known fact When the skeletons come of your closet And they chase you all around the room And the memories sail 'round like a ghost And dance around in a sad, slow tune Ah, if you think you're lonely now Aw, aw, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl) I'll be long gone (if you think you're lonely now) (You just wait until tonight, girl) And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right (If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now Wa-ait, wait until tonight, girl Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn When things aren't going your way But when love walks out and the pain walks in It settles for a stay Ooh! (If you think you're lonely now) 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, lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) aw, you just wait until tonight, girl If you think you're lonely now Wait until tonight, girl You see, tonight's the night for when they need to come out When your need's come out to creep And the tossing starts And there ain't no way you can sleep Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) I feel like I wanna testify this evening (If you think you're lonely now) I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you Oh girl, I just can't take no more (wait until tonight, girl) (If you think you're lonely now) hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh Oh girl, you just wait (you just wait until tonight, girl) (If you think you're lonely now) if you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait Wait (wait until tonight, girl) (If you think you're lonely now) too far gone (Wait until tonight, girl) I'm packing up now (If you think you're lonely now) ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, baby (wait until tonight, girl) You say you get a little lonely (if you think you're lonely now) 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 falling down (wait until tonight, girl) And you had that someone, baby (if you think you're lonely now) 'Cause I've done my time (Wait until tonight, girl) and it's your turn now (If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) wait, wait until tonight (If you think you're lonely now) I'm tired I'm tired of the same old shuckin' jive (you just wait until tonight, girl) It's been too long (If you think you're lonely now) if you think that we could start all over again It's been too long (Wait until tonight, girl) if you think you can start it just one more time If you think you're lonely now
