If You Think You're Lonely Now lyrics

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 down 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 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

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, no joke, ah

Oh, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)

I'll be long gone (If you think you're lonely now)

(You just wait until tonight, girl) and you'll never find another man that'll treat you right

you think you're lonely now

(Wait until tonight, girl) wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl

Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn

When things aren't goin' your way?

But when love runs out and the pain walks in

And settles for a stay, ooh

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

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, ooh

if you think you're lonely now

(Wait until tonight, girl) I feel like I wanna testify this evenin'

I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl

I just can't take no more (wait until tonight, girl)

ooh, hoo, hoo

Ah, girl, you just wait (you just wait until tonight, girl)

If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait

(Wait until tonight, girl) wait

Too far gone

(Wait until tonight, girl) like you're runnin' out

ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, babe

(Wait until tonight, girl)

You say you're a little lonely

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 that someone, baby

'Cause I've done my time

(Wait until tonight, girl) and it's your turn now

if you think you're lonely now

(Wait until tonight, girl) wait, wait until tonight

I'm tired, tired of this same old stuck in the hour

It's been too long

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)
