Tonight, I'm gonna love you
Like I never have loved you before
Because tonight
I'm gonna ask you the question
That keeps this whole world spinning and spinning around

Will you marry me, baby? (I will)
Cos' I just love you (oh I will)
Marry me now
And our dreams will come true

Because tonight
My heart is spinning and spinning around
And I'm hoping you baby
Will give me a word
Give me a word
From your sweet loving
Tonight

I'm driving home to you darling
Hoping you're already home
It feels so right
To ask you the question
That'll keep this whole world spinning and spinning around

I need to marry you baby (oh I do)
Cos' I just love you
Marry me now (I do)
And my dreams will come true

Because tonight
My heart is spinning and spinning around
And I'm hoping you baby
Will give me a word
Give me a word
From your sweet loving
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
