Lyrics

Tonight's the night
That you belong to me
Tonight's the night
There'll be no company
Oh, tonight, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night (tonight)
Yes sir, (tonight), oh, yes, it is
Now listen to me, honey
Someone should call (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't answer the phone (oh-ooh)
Somebody knocks on the door (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Tell 'em we're not home (oh-ooh)
I just want it to be, darling
Nobody but me and you, honey, tonight (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want no friends around (oh-ooh)
There's a whole lot of sweet talk, girl (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm gon' be putting down
Cut off the stereo, huh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Forget about the late, late show (oh-ooh)
'Cause tonight, honey, oh, tonight
Listen to me
(Tonight's the night) and when the lights are low
(Then you belong to me) I'm gonna lock all the doors
(Tonight's the night) and throw away the key, baby
(You're mine exclusively) and then I wanna talk to you
Some more because tonight
I got something I want to say to you
Honey, tonight, ooh
I wanna hear you say I do (oh-ooh)
And that ain't all, sugar (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And when I get through (oh-ooh)
I want you to hold me, squeeze me
With all of your might because tonight (tonight)
Tonight is the night (tonight)
