(Intro)
Tonight is the night, girl
(Tonight is the night)
For love
Baby
Baby
Oh, yeah girl

(Verse 1)
(It's all about you)
Remembering all the things that I want to do to you
(It's all about you)
Baby, I've got plans
(I'm dedicated to you)
All of the things that I have in mind to do to you
(I've waiting tonight, my love)
Waiting, waiting patiently girl, for you love now
(You deserve more)
More than just one night thing
Maybe more than just one minute babe
(You deserve more love)
I've been waiting baby to show you

(Chorus)
'Cause tonight is the night
Girl, tonight is your night for love
Baby, baby
Tonight's right
Girl, tonight is your night for love
Baby, baby

(Verse 2)
You got my undivided attention
Set for me soft, so don't even mention
No excuses, interruptions
If it's your favorite we're gonna get it
Something you're craving
I've been waiting tonight, my girl
(Waiting, waiting patiently, baby)
(You deserve more)
It's more than dinner and a movie
Your body needs a big contest
(You deserve more love)
I'd be giving my love to you

(Chorus) (Repeat with ad libs)
'Cause tonight is right
Girl, tonight is your night for love
Baby, baby
Tonight's right
Girl, tonight is your night for love
Baby, baby
Tonight baby
Tonight is the night for love
Baby, baby
(Make you feel good, girl)
Tonight is your night for love
(You need to come and get it, girl)
(I know girl that you've been waiting)
(Oh baby, yeah baby)
(End up being so right)
(I'll be loving you all night)
(You gonna want it baby)
(You gonna need it baby)
(Tonight is the night girl)
(I'll be loving you baby)

(End)
Make you go up, and down
(Up and down)
Back, and forth
Left to right
Do it all night
We'll be making go up, and down
(No make it calm down)
(Push it on back)
(I like it I like)
