[Verse 1]
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see

[Pre-Chorus]
Why should we worry?
No one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away

[Chorus]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

[Verse 2]
Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searchin' even after today

[Pre-Chorus]
So there it is girl
I've said it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

[Chorus]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

[Bridge]
I know it's late
I know you're weary (Weary)
Oh, I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely (Lonely)
Both of us lonely (Lonely)

[Chorus]
We've got tonight (We've got tonight)
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light (Turn out the light)
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

Oh, we've got tonight (We've got tonight)
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light (Turn out the light)
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Why don't you stay?

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
