Tonight, tonight, tonight. Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight Let me be the one who really holds you tight I'll even bring along a magic moon Just to make you feel alright So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight. Let me be the one who takes you by the hand Let me be the one who always understands. Ev'rybody knows we've been good friends But I think the time is right So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight. You and I could have an affair Make sweet music go anywhere Building highways Taking a bend As long as I know you really care Won't you show that you care-oh come on Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight
