If You Think You're Lonely Now Songtext

von Bobby Womack

I just wanna dedicate this song
To all the lovers in the world tonight
And I expect that to be the whole world
Because everybody needs something
Or someone to love

Yeah
When it's cold outside
Girl, who are you holding
You'll be holding me
Well, well, well, well, well
Said if y'all don't mind
Can I talk about this woman I have
She's always complaining about the things she ain't got
And the things her girlfriend's got
But lady I will let you know
I can't be in two places at one time

If you think you're lonely now
Ooh yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
Oh, you better wait til tonight
Yeah, baby
Wait until tonight girl
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight girl
I'll be long gone, yes I will
Wait until tonight, girl
You better wait until tonight

When skeletons come out of your closet
And chase you all around the room
Memories sound like a ghost
And if you is scared
Talk to me, baby

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl
Wait until tonight
Wait until tonight baby(yeah yeah)
Wait until tonight girl
You better wait until tonight
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight girl
Do you believe me baby

Ain't it funny how tables turn
When things ain't goin your way
When love walks out, pain walks in
You can't help to say

If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now
You better wait girl, yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
If you think you're lonely now
If you think you're lonely now
Hold on, ooh yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
Ooh, yeah

I wanna testify
I wanna testify
I wanna testify to ya
I just got one thing to say
If you think you're lonely now

If you think you're lonely now
Baby, yeah
Wait until tonight, girl
(repeat chorus until fade)
