HERBIE HANCOCK
"Tonight's The Night"
(Herbie Hancock / Ray Parker, Jr.)

I'm a lonely girl
With a lot of love
Building up inside
That I try to hide
Waitin' for that special guy someday
Meet a man
Who'll understand
What my needs are
And my wants are
Someone to take my fantasies away
So if you're the man
That I'm looking for
Won't you show me
(Show me) Show me tonight
'Cause when you look at me
And I look at you
I feel
Magic is right

[Chorus:]
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
I believe, tonight's the night

Just a lonely girl
With a heart to give
But a heart can ache
And it's gonna break
If I never find that special friend
Honey, if you need
Someone like me
To be right there by your side
It's gonna take us more than just one night
So I understand (I understand)
You're gonna take your time
To decide when it's right, oh baby
When I'm close to you
And you're close to me
When you're feeling
Tonight's the night

[Chorus 2x:]
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night

So tell Thomas Edison
We don't want his lights
And remind Mister Bell
Not to ring this phone tonight

[Chorus 2x:]
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night

So I understand
You're gonna take your time
To decide when it's right, ooh baby
When I'm close to you
And you're close to me
When you're feeling
Tonight's the night (tonight's the night)

[Chorus:]
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night
Come on baby
The mood is right
Ooh, ooh, come on sugar
Tonight's the night
