[Verse 1]
Tonight, do we have to fight again?
Tonight, I just wanna go to sleep
Turn out the light, but you wanna carry grudges
Oh, nine times outta ten, I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling

[Verse 2]
Tonight, does it have to be the old thing?
Tonight, oh, it's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise, ooh, and place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
Oh, and I cannot find the time

[Chorus]
Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
The man who'd love to see you smile
Who'd love to see you smile tonight

[Chorus]
Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
The man who'd love to see you smile
The man who'd love to see you smile
The man who'd love to see you smile tonight
