Yeah, tonight it's goin' down
You know we've been waitin' much too long for this, girl
It's time to get it on, yeah, old school style
Tonight it's goin' down, keep it grown, keep it sexy, come on

I've been waitin' on you forever
I'm not gonna even front
And it's gonna get so much better
Can't wait till the moment comes

When I get to squeeze you in your arms
And lay you on your bed
Excuse me if I kiss it for a little girl
I like it when it's nice and wet

It makes me feel good
To know that you're waitin' for it
I make it so good
I hope that you're ready for it
'Cause I'm about to turn off the lights

Tonight it's goin' down
We're in the final round
It's time to close the deal
Gonna sex it up in here

Tonight we're makin' babies
We've been waitin' much too long
Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on
Tonight will be the night
Of all of the nights, tonight, tonight, yeah girl

More than just a little bit excited
I've been holdin' it for days
And when I get with you tonight
I'm gonna make you call my name

Got the right vibe and it's blowin'
Got the candlelight and it's glowin'
Got you right now and I got you goin'
Oh, let's take it all the way

It makes me feel good
To know that you're waitin' for me
I'll make it so good
I hope that you sing for me
'Cause we 'bout to make love tonight

Tonight it's goin' down
We're in the final round
It's time to close the deal
Gonna sex it up in here

Tonight we're makin' babies
We've been waitin' much too long
Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on
Tonight will be the night
Of all of the nights, tonight, tonight

Tonight will be the dreams
Of all of your dreams, tonight, tonight
Tonight I'll make you scream
Like you never screamed, tonight, tonight
Oh, baby, it's gonna be everything you wanted to be
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight it's goin' down
We're in the final round
It's time to close the deal
Gonna sex it up in here

Tonight we're makin' babies
We've been waitin' much too long
Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on

Tonight it's goin' down
We're in the final round
It's time to close the deal
Gonna sex it up in here

Tonight we're makin' babies
We've been waitin' much too long
Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on
Tonight will be the night
Of all of the nights, tonight, tonight
Tonight it's goin' down

Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on, tonight
Tonight it's goin' down
It's time to get it on, tonight
Tonight it's goin' down

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
