If You Think You're Lonely Now

And the memories sail ‘round like a ghost
What she ain't got and she wants me to go out and get ‘em for her
(If you think you're lonely now)
(If you think you're lonely now)
I just can't take no more
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
Lord, help me, I feel like I wanna testify
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Girl, wait until tonight
It's been too long
When it's cold outside who are you holding?

(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right
If you think you're lonely, lonely now
If you think you're lonely now, huh
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
Like you're runnin' out
Just remember I made it a long fact
I'll be long gone
I feel like I wanna testify this evenin'
(If you think you're lonely now)
(You just wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)

(If you think you're lonely now)
Wait, wait until tonight
You think, you could start all over again, it's been too long
(If you think you're lonely now)

You think you could start it just one more time

Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, babe
And you toast the stars and there ain't now way you can sleep, ooh

If you think you're lonely now
(Wait until tonight, girl)
When things aren't goin' your way?
(Wait until tonight, girl)
And it's gotta just come out of the closet
But when love runs out and the pain walks in
Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn
You say you're a little lonely
You know, if y'all don't mind I'd like to talk about this woman of mine
(If you think you're lonely now)
Wait
(Wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
But girl, I can't be in two places at one time

And you'll find another man that'll treat you right

(If you think you're lonely now)
Ah, girl, you just wait
When I ain't there to rub your back

(If you think you're lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
When your needs come out to breathe
(Wait until tonight, girl)
But when I'm down broke

(You just wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)

And you had that someone, baby
(If you think you're lonely now)
You see tonight's the night when the needs come out
(If you think you're lonely now)
Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl
I'm lonely, ‘cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl
I'll be long gone
It's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side
But everybody needs somebody to love
(If you think you're lonely now)

If you think you're lonely now
I'm tired, tired of this same old stuck in the hour
And chase you all around your room
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
She's always complainin' ‘bout me never bein' at home
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(If you think you're lonely now)
She's tellin' me about the things that her girlfriend's got
You think you're lonely now
Ooh, hoo, hoo
Too far gone
And settles for a stay, ooh
(Wait until tonight, girl)
That'll build you up when you're fallin' down
‘Cause I've done my time
If you think you're lonely now
Because everybody needs something or someone to love

(If you think you're lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
(Wait until tonight, girl)
Oh, wait until tonight

And that's a matter of fact, no joke, ah
(Wait until tonight, girl)

(If you think you're lonely now)
(Wait until tonight, girl)

(If you think you're lonely now)
And it's your turn now
Wait until tonight, girl

Wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl
