Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have got something to tell you
But it's more, more than words can say
What I'm feeling, words could never express it, oh, oh, oh
Not like I would if I just could
Spend a few moments with you, oh
[Chorus]
My baby, take me in your arms tonight
Hold me tight, now baby
Got to have your love tonight
Do it right, now baby (Oh)
Take me in your arms tonight (Hee, hee)
[Verse 2]
We, we got something between us
And it feels, it feels so good to me
It's getting stronger, but I keep getting weaker
I know that you can feel it too
Just by the things that you do, woah
[Chorus]
My baby, take me in your arms tonight
Hold me tight, now baby (Yeah)
Got to have your love tonight
(Do it right) Do it right, now baby
Take me in your arms tonight (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
Hold me tight, now baby
Take me in your arms tonight
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
[Bridge]
Take me in your arms tonight, tonight
It's getting stronger
Getting weaker
I'm still getting weaker
Oh, yeah, yeah
Take me
I'm gonna take you
Oh, take me
[Instrumental]
Oh, hey, hey
Ooh, hoo
[Chorus]
My baby (Yeah), take me in your arms
Hold me tight, now baby
Got to have your love tonight (Do it right)
Do it right, now baby (Baby)
Take me in your arms tonight (Oh, hey)
Do it right, now baby (Do it right, Do it right)
Got to have your love tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (Oh, hey, hey)
Baby (Baby), take me in your arms tonight (Baby, oh)
Do it right, now baby (Do it right)
Got to have your love tonight
[Outro]
Have your love tonight
Ooh, baby
Ooh, hoo, hoo, baby
Oh, baby
Ooh, hoo, Teddy
Ooh, Steph
Ooh, Teddy
Oh, Stephanie
Have your love tonight
Yes, you do
(Do it right) Do it right, tonight
Do it right (Do it right), tonight (Tonight)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Baby (Baby), oh baby
I got to have your love tonight
All your love
Oh, yeah
