The night is right, baby
It's right for love
And love's the only thing
I'm thinkin' of
So, baby, just hold me
Come on hold me tight
A little tighter, baby
Please don't spoil tonight

Tell me tomorrow, yeah
Tell me tomorrow, baby
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine

If someone's waitin'
Waitin' up for you
You can keep it a secret
'Cause I need you too
So, baby, don't tell me
Don't you tell me, please
If in the mornin'
You're gonna have to leave

Tell me tomorrow, baby, why don't you
Tell me tomorrow, yeah
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, oh...

Tell me tomorrow, yeah
Tell me tomorrow, oh, baby, now
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine

If you can't be mine forever more
Let's just make it like I never knew
'Cause I want all the love I feel inside
To be true, to be true
So if it can't be me and you

Tell me tomorrow, yeah
Tell me tomorrow, it's alright if you
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

Tell me, tell me, tell me

The night is right, baby
It's right for love
And love's the only thing
I'm thinkin' of
So, baby, just hold me
Come on hold me tight
A little tighter, baby
Please don't spoil tonight

Tell me tomorrow, yeah
Tell me tomorrow, it's alright if you
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, mine, mine, mine

Tell me tomorrow, yeah, baby, why don't you
Tell me tomorrow, ooh
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, if you can't be mine, mine

Tell me tomorrow, it's alright if you
Tell me tomorrow, I'd prefer if you'd
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, all mine

Tell me tomorrow, yeah, baby, why don't you
Tell me tomorrow, yes
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine, mine, mine, mine

Tell me tomorrow, I won't mind of you
Tell me tomorrow, that'll be fine if you
Tell me tomorrow
If you can't be mine...

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
