[Spoken Intro]
Now you know we've both been through a lot today
That's why we need to just sit back
And enjoy this evening
So if you'll choose me then you're my choice tonight

Right tonight, you're my choice tonight
You really got me, yeah
Feeling right - look out, girl
Sure gon' be a heavy night

[Verse 1]
Chooser, beggar - what's your pleasure, girl?
In the evening when the day is done
Why don't you ease back, honey
And let me be the one

[Pre-Chorus]
To hold you, just to know you, girl
There's got to be a way
(A way, a way, a way)
All the signs we go, easy, soft and slow
So how can we say no, when

[Chorus]
It feels so right (Oh, it feels so right, baby)
You're my choice tonight
(It's you, baby, you, you, baby)
What delight
Downright heaven like
(Oh girl, take this love) Let it fly
(Oh girl) In the midnight sky
(I said you got me, baby) Feeling right (Yeah)
You're my choice tonight
(Yes, you are, yeah)

[Bridge]
Come on, choose me, baby
Ooh, choose me, baby
Oh baby, oh oh baby
Come on and choose me, baby
Would you do that, would you do that for me?
The idea sounds so good

[Verse 2]
I got a love design, made with us in mind
And it's ready to be tried (It's ready to be tried)
It's an all night plan for love makin'
As much as we can stand, ooh girl

[Chorus]
Feels so right (Sure feels right to me)
You're my choice tonight (It's you, you, baby, you, you, you, you, baby)
What delight (Yeah)
Downright heaven like
(Hey, hey, yeah, why don't you take this love)
Let if fly, in the midnight sky
(Oh, I wanna make love to you, alright, alright, alright, baby)
Feelin' right
(Sure got me)
You're my choice tonight
(Whatever you want, whatever you need)

[Outro]
Come on and choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
I got the plan, baby - would you do that? Would you do that?
Would you do that?
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby, choose me, baby, choose me, baby
Come on, girl, I'm asking you, I'm asking you, I'm asking you
Choose me, baby

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh girl, come on, baby

I can see the fire in your eyes
Come on, girl

Hey, hey, yeah, come on, baby
Something I wanna do is take you by surprise
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby
Choose me, baby, choose me, baby, choose me, baby

Teddy Pendergrass

Teddy Pendergrass, the Philadelphia soul singer whose husky, potent baritone was one definition of R&B seduction in the 1970s but whose career was transformed in 1982 when he was severely paralyzed in an auto accident.

As the lead singer for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and in a solo career in which he sold millions of albums, Mr. Pendergrass brought gospel dynamics to bedroom vows in songs like “If You Don’t Know Me by Now,”, “Close the Door,” “Turn Off the Lights” and “Love T.K.O.”

His performances rose from breathy whispers to gutsy exhortations, making his voice the deeper, more aggressive counterpart to the styles of 1970s soul men like Al Green and Marvin Gaye.
