Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, one, two, three
Oh, sock it to me
Do it to it
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumblin' down
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna take you little girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna wait 'till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eye
I'm gonna wait 'till the stars come out
That's when my love begins to shine
[Verse 5]
Now you're the only girl I know
That really moves me so
In the midnight hour
Oh yes, in the midnight hour
Play it for me, Joe
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumblin' down
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you little girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna wait 'till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eye
I'm gonna wait 'till the stars come out
That's when my love begins to shine
[Verse 8]
You're the only girl I know
That really moves me so
In the midnight hour
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
Hey, take it away
[Verse 9]
Yeah
Sock it to me
Do it
Yeah
All night long
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 10]
