[Verse 1]
When you love someone, it's natural, not demanding
And that's one thing I'm proud to say I found in you
I'm so glad we reached an understanding
Now I know my heart is safe with you, ooh
So now my love to you, baby, I surrender

[Chorus]
Get ready tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Oh, baby) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember

[Verse 2]
Celebrations in the heart 'cause we're united
And there's nothing in this world to come between me and you
We're together and it keeps me so excited
To think of what the power of love can do, ooh
And I'm filled with a love that's, oh, so tender

[Chorus]
Get ready (Baby) tonight (Girl)
I'm gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Get ready) tonight
I'm gonna make this a night to remember
Make this a night to remember
Get ready tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Get ready) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember

Get ready (Baby) tonight (Darling)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Darling) tonight (Baby)
Gonna make this a night to remember

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
This night you won't forget
Gonna make this a night to remember
‘Cause your love I won't regret
Gonna make this a night to remember

[Chorus]
Get ready (Baby) tonight (Darling)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (It won't be like the past) tonight (I will make it last)
Gonna make this a night to remember

[Post-Chorus]
Tonight
Make this a night to remember
Tonight
Make this a night to remember

[Verse 3]
Let's make a toast to those who helped make this occasion
They turn their back on love
And that's what drove you straight to me
Now to you, I make a lasting dedication
I'll show you all that love and life can be, ooh
And each day that I live I will deliver

[Chorus]
Get ready (This night you won't forget) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (‘Cause your love I won't regret) tonight
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (Baby) tonight (Darling)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready (It won't be like the past) tonight (I will make it last)
Gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready tonight

Shalamar

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
