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 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, 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
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 long fact
And it’s gotta just come out of the closet and chase you all around your room
And the memories sail ‘round like a ghost, and that’s a matter of fact, it’s no joke, 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
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you’re lonely now If you think you’re lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl Wai ait, wait until tonight, girl
Oh, ain’t it funny how the tables turn, when things aren’t goin’ your where
But when love runs out, and the pain walks in and 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 now
If you think you’re lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl 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, oh
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 evenin’
If you think you’re lonely now I’m lonely, ‘cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl
Wait until tonight, girl I just can’t take no more
If you think you’re lonely now Oohhoohoo
Wait until tonight, girl Ah, girl, you just wait
If you think you’re lonely now If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
Wait until tonight, girl Wait
If you think you’re lonely now Too far gone
Wait until tonight, girl Like you’re runnin’ out
If you think you’re lonely now Oohhoooohhoo, babe
Wait until tonight, girl You say you’re 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 fallin’ down
Wait until tonight, girl And you had the 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, tired of this same old stuck in the hour
Wait until tonight, girl It’s been too long
If you think you’re lonely now 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
Wait until tonight, girl
