[Intro: Blackstreet & SWV]
Hey baby, I'm thinking of you
Hey baby, I'm thinking of you
Tonight

[Chorus: Blackstreet & SWV & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Tonight is the night
For me and you, yeah, oh, oh yeah
Tonight is so right, it's so right, so right
So right, oh

[Verse 1: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Your understanding, is what brought us this far
Never demanding, although you gave your heart
You made it easy, baby, for me to reveal
All of the love I have inside, just how I really feel
So many lovers, and yeah, I had big fun
But none of the others took my heart
My playing days are done
Because I'm ready, baby, I never been this sure
You are the one that I adore
I'm gonna love you more, yеah, starting tonight

[Chorus: Blackstreet & SWV & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Tonight is the night
Ah yeah, we can swing thе night tonight
So let me make it up to you, baby
Tonight is so right, it's so right, so right
I know, I know it's gonna be so right, so right
Coko, come on, help me sing it

[Verse 2: Coko]
I had decided the moment that we met
That you were somebody, baby
I could never let get away, baby
I'm so glad you're staying
Giving me all the love I need
Making me feel the heat
Boy, it's been my dream, it's been my dream
For you to love only me, yeah
You're everything I want, everything I need
Can't you see it's destiny?
Oh, let's make it tonight, oh

[Chorus: Blackstreet & SWV & Coko]
Tonight is the night
We make up, and fall in love again, oh
Tonight is so right, it's so right, so right
So right, so right, yeah yeah

[Verse 3: Craig Mack & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Well, let's go down
Down, down below the ground where funk lives
Mister Mass Appeal
Tonight's the night, Blackstreet and Craig Mack rock it right
Dynamite, might invite to excite, dim the lights, a'ight? (Hey)
I funk rhymes to prove MC's are inferior
Smooth like the wood grain interior
I represent, in 9-5 my rhymes represent
Heaven-sent to leave your black ass bent
My bang, do the bang bang, my slang rang
Drinkin' Tang for the fire style that you can't hang
I down with Blackstreet and SWV
So have a seat, or MC's will defeat
(Baby, let's make tonight the night, oh)

[Chorus: Blackstreet & SWV & Coko, Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Tonight is the night (Baby, tonight, tonight is the night) (Yes it is, yeah)
(I wanna make it up to you) (I wanna make it up to you)
Tonight is so right, it's so right
(So right) (So right) (Baby, yeah yeah) (Oh oh yeah)
(You know, you know tonight is the night, yeah)
Tonight is the night (Girl, I want tonight to be the night)
(I want you to be mine tonight) (Oh, tonight) (All night)
(All, all night) (Yeah)
Tonight is so right (Baby, I promise tonight will be the night), so right, so right
(You're every little thing that I wanted, baby) (Every little thing that I wanted, baby)
Tonight is the night
(You're every little thing that I wanted, baby) (Yes, you are, baby)
(You're every little thing that I wanted, baby) (Every little thing I wanted)
Tonight is so right, so right, so right
(You're every little thing that I wanted, baby) (Baby, baby)
(You're every little thing that I wanted, baby) (You're every little thing that I wanted)
Tonight is the night
(You're every little thing that I wanted, you're every little thing that I wanted, baby, oh yeah, baby)
Tonight is so right, so right, so right
(You're every little thing that I wanted, yeah)
