If You Think Your Lonely Now

I wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers tonight
And I expect that might be the whole world because
Everybody needs something or someone to love

When it's cold outside, who are you holding?
You know, if y'all don't mind, I'd like to talk about this woman of mine
She's always complaining 'bout me never being at home
But when I'm there, I'm broke
She's telling me about the things that her girlfriend's got
What she ain't got
And she wants me to go out and get 'em for her, but
But girl, I can't be in two places at one time

If you think you're lonely now, huh
Wait until tonight, girl
(If you think you're lonely now) I'll be long gone
(Wait until tonight, girl) and you'll never find another man that'll treat you right
(If you think you're lonely now) when I ain't there to rub your back
(Wait until tonight, girl) just remember I made it a known fact

When the skeletons come of your closet
And they chase you all around the room
And the memories sail 'round like a ghost
And dance around in a sad, slow tune

Ah, if you think you're lonely now
Aw, aw, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)
I'll be long gone (if you think you're lonely now)
(You just wait until tonight, girl)
And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right
(If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now
Wa-ait, wait until tonight, girl

Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn
When things aren't going your way
But when love walks out and the pain walks in
It settles for a stay
Ooh!

(If you think you're lonely now) lord, help me
I feel like I wanna testify (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
Girl, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely, lonely, lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl) aw, you just wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl

You see, tonight's the night for when they need to come out
When your need's come out to creep
And the tossing starts
And there ain't no way you can sleep
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl) I feel like I wanna testify this evening
(If you think you're lonely now) I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you
Oh girl, I just can't take no more (wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now) hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh
Oh girl, you just wait (you just wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now) if you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
Wait (wait until tonight, girl)

(If you think you're lonely now) too far gone
(Wait until tonight, girl) I'm packing up now
(If you think you're lonely now) ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, baby (wait until tonight, girl)
You say you get a little lonely (if you think you're lonely now)
But everybody needs somebody to love (wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
It's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side
That'll build you up when you're falling down (wait until tonight, girl)
And you had that someone, baby (if you think you're lonely now)
'Cause I've done my time
(Wait until tonight, girl) and it's your turn now
(If you think you're lonely now) if you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl) wait, wait until tonight
(If you think you're lonely now) I'm tired
I'm tired of the same old shuckin' jive (you just wait until tonight, girl)
It's been too long
(If you think you're lonely now) if you think that we could start all over again
It's been too long
(Wait until tonight, girl) if you think you can start it just one more time
If you think you're lonely now
