[Gm] [Ab]
[Bb] I want to dedicate this song to all the lovers of [Gm] night.
[Eb] [Ab] And I expect that might be the whole world because everybody [Bb] needs something or someone to love.
[Eb] [Ab]
When it's cold [Bb] outside, who are you [Gm] holding?
[Ab]
[Bb] You know, [Cm] if y'all don't mind, I like to talk about [Ab] this woman of mine.
[Eb] She's always [Bb] complaining about me never being at home.
[Gm] But [Ab] when I'm there, I'm broke.
[F] She's telling me about the things that her girlfriends got, what she ain't got.
She wants me to go [Fm] out and get them for her.
But girl, I can't be in two places at one [Ab] time.
If you think [Bb] you're lonely now, [Gm] wait [Ab] until tonight.
I'll be [Bb] wrong.
[Gm]
[Ab] You'll never find another man that'll treat you right.
If [Bb] you're lonely now, when I ain't [Gm] there to rub your back, [Ab] just remember I've been in a known fight.
[F]
And the skeletons come out of the closet and chase [A] you all around [Fm] the room.
And the memories sell out like a ghost and dance around [Gm] in a fast [Fm] flow tune.
[Ab] If you think you're lonely [Bb] now,
[Gm] wait [Ab] until tonight.
I'll be [Bb] wrong.
[Gm] And you'll never find [Ab] another man that'll treat you right.
If you [Bb] think you're lonely now, wait, [Eb] [Ab] wait.
[F]
[Cm] [Fm] But when love walks out one day, [Ab] oh.
[Bb] Oh, help me.
I feel [Eb] [Ab] like I want to testify.
[Bb] Oh, [Cm] wait until tonight.
If you think you're lonely [Bb] now, [Gm] [Ab] oh, you'll just wait until the night, girl.
[Bb]
[Cm] Oh, wait [Ab] until tonight, girl.
[F] You see, the nights are nicer when the deeds come out, when the [Ab] deeds come out the green.
There ain't no way you can sneak.
Oh, [Bb] if you think you're lonely now, [Eb] wait [Ab] until tonight.
I feel [Cm] like I want to testify that [Bb] I'm lonely.
But I know I gotta leave you.
Oh, girl, I just can't take [Gm] no more.
[Ab] If you think you're lonely now, [Cm] oh.
[Bb] [Gm] Oh, girl, you just wait.
[Ab] [Cm]
[Bb] You think you got problems now, baby, you just wait.
[Gm] Wait until [Ab] tonight, girl.
If you think you're [Bb] lonely now, too far gone.
I'm locking [Ab] up now.
Oh, [Bb] wait [Eb]
until tonight, girl.
You say [Cm] you're a little lonely.
[Bb] Everybody needs somebody to love. Oh, [Eb] girl.
[Ab] [Cm] It's good that you know that [Bb] you got somebody that'll stand by your side, that'll build you up when you're [Gm] falling down.
[Ab] Oh, girl.
And you heard that someone, baby?
[Bb] I'm locking you down.
Cause I've done my time.
Oh, girl.
[Ab] And it's your turn now.
If you think you're [Bb] lonely now, [Eb] wait, [Ab] wait until tonight.
[Bb] I'm tired.
Tired of the [Eb] same old, stupid [Ab] job.
It's been too long.
[Bb] To think that we could start all over again.
It's [Gm] been too long.
[Ab] To [Eb] think that we could start [Ab] every one over.
[Bb] [Gm]
