[Intro: Rodney Jerkins]
Darkchild, 2000, uh-huh, yeah
I like that
Lionel Richie, Darkchild
You ready? Come on, let's go

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Rodney Jerkins]
Tonight, if you're ready, it's time
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night)
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night)

[Verse 1: Lionel Richie]
You say you're ready to be mine
This could be the right time
Got this feeling deep inside
And what I'm feeling, I just can't hide

[Pre-Chorus: Lionel Richie]
Tell me, are you looking for the time of your life?
Let me know if you're ready to go (Let me know, girl)
There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
It's all up to you, what are you going to do?

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Rodney Jerkins]
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
I can feel it in the air tonight
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
Yes, we can
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night)
Listen

[Verse 2: Lionel Richie & Rodney Jerkins]
Get lost in the magic, lose control
Free your body, ooh, let's go (Let's go, let's go)
Feel the fire, it's burning hot
Feel the fire, just can't stop
(Don't stop, don't stop)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, are you looking for the time of your life? (Let's go)
Let me know if you're ready to go
(Take my hand and follow me)
There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
Everything will be fine, just put your hand in mine now

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Rodney Jerkins]
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
I know what we can do, girl
(Tonight's the night)
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
Good all night, girl
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night)

Tonight, if you're ready it's time
Stay with me, baby, please
If you're ready girl, if you're ready girl
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight, oh oh oh
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night)

[Bridge: Lionel Richie]
The clock is ticking (Clock is ticking)
Girl, decide (Girl, decide)
If you're ready (If you're ready)
Let's ride (Let's ride)
If you follow (If you follow)
What's on my mind (What's on my mind)
A night of passion (A night of passion)
Is what you'll find (Is what you'll find)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, are you looking for the time of your life?
Let me know if you're ready to go
I need to know, I need to know (Let's go, let's go)
There'll be no hesitation, what feels right is right
It's all up to you, what are you going to do?
(Tonight's the night)

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Rodney Jerkins]
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
It's alright, it's alright, it's okay
I can feel it in the air tonight
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
I can make it feel so right, I can make it feel so right
Girl, I promise you
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
Oh oh oh, all night long
I can feel it in the air tonight
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
All night long, girl, I promise to love you, yeah
(Tonight's the night, tonight's the night, break it down)

[Outro]
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
If you're ready, come and tell me, baby, yeah
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
So...so good (Darkchild, 2000, Lionel Richie...)
Tonight, if you're ready it's time
Come on, let me know, come on, let me know
Tonight we can make it feel so good tonight
