Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's nobody else around
[Verse 2]
Gonna take you, girl, and hold you
Do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait, wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
[Verse 4]
You're the only girl that I know
Really love me so
In the midnight hour
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour, baby
When my love comes tumbling down
Got to wait till the midnight hour, my love
When there's nobody else around
[Verse 6]
Only you and I, just you an I
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
[Verse 7]
With nobody around us, nobody to bother us
No trouble from anywhere
Just you and I
[Verse 8]
Got to wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
Gonna wait, wait till the midnight hour, baby
When there's nobody, nobody around
[Verse 9]
Just you and I
Nobody around but you and I, baby
And I'm gonna hold you, hold you, hold you, hold you
Squeeze you, squeeze you, I need you, love you, baby
Take it home, now
