[Intro]
I just wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers in the world tonight
And I expect that to be the whole world because everybody needs someone
Or something to love
Yeah

[Verse 1]
When it's cold outside
Girl, who are you holding?
You'll be holding me
Well, well, well, well, well
Said if y'all don't mind
Can I talk about this woman I have?
She's always complaining about the things she ain't got
And the things her girlfriend's got
But lady I will let you know
I can't be in two places at one time

[Chorus]
If you think you're lonely now, ooh yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
Oh, you better wait 'til tonight, yeah baby
(If you think you're lonely now)
Wait until tonight, girl
I'll be long gone
(If you think you're lonely now)
Yes I will
(Wait until tonight, girl)
You better wait until tonight

[Verse 2]
When skeletons come out of your closet
And chase you all around the room
Memories sound like a ghost
And you are scared talk to me, baby

[Chorus]
(If you think you're lonely now)
If you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Wait until tonight
Wait until tonight, baby, yeah, yeah
(If you think you're lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
You better wait until tonight
(If you think you're lonely now)
Do you believe me baby?
(Wait until tonight, girl)

[Verse 3]
Ain't it funny how tables turn
When things ain't goin' your way, ha
When love walks out, pain walks in
You can't help to say

[Chorus]
(If you think you're lonely now)
Think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now
(You better wait girl, yeah)
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now
(If you think you're lonely now)
Hold on, ooh yeah
Wait until tonight, girl

[Bridge]
I wanna testify
I wanna testify
I wanna testify to ya
I just got one thing to say
If you think you're lonely now

[Chorus]
If you think you're lonely now
(Baby, yeah)
Wait until tonight, girl
(Share your feelings)
If you think you're lonely now
(Ooh yeah)
Wait until tonight, girl
(Oh, don't be a fool)
If you think you're lonely now
(Baby, please don't be a fool)
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now

[Outro]
I want you baby, baby, baby, ha

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
