I've been lonesome, I've been empty I got an achin', Way down inside I need someone, Someone to hold me Pull down the shade, Turn out the light And love me tonight. Don't think about tomorrow It don't matter any more We can turn the key And lock the world outside the door. I need you so now Come on let's go now Kick off your shoes, Turn out the light And love me tonight. Now don't you worry We're all alone now Let your hair down Sit by my side Turn off the T.V. Put on some music Pull down the shade Turn out the light And love me tonight Don't think about tomorrow It don't matter any more We can turn the key And lock the world outside the door. I need you so now Come on let go now Kick off your shoes Turn out the light And love me tonight
