Bobby Womack - If You Think You're Lonely Now lyrics

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 complainin' 'bout me never bein' at home But when I'm down broke She's tellin' 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 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 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 long fact And it's gotta just come out of the closet And chase you all around your room And the memories sail 'round like a ghost And that's a matter of fact, no joke, ah If you think you're lonely now (If you think you're lonely now) Oh, wait until tonight (Wait until tonight, girl) I'll be long gone (If you think you're lonely now) And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right (You just wait until tonight, girl) (If you think you're lonely now) You think you're lonely now (Wait until tonight, girl) Wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn When things aren't goin' your way? But when love runs out and the pain walks in And 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 now (If you think you're lonely now) (Wait until tonight, girl) Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl (If you think you're lonely now) (Wait until tonight, girl) You see tonight's the night when the needs come out When your needs come out to breathe And you toast the stars and there ain't now way you can sleep, 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 evenin' (If you think you're lonely now) I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl (Wait until tonight, girl) I just can't take no more (If you think you're lonely now) Ooh, hoo, hoo (You just wait until tonight, girl) Ah, girl, you just wait (If you think you're lonely now) If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait (Wait until tonight, girl) Wait (If you think you're lonely now) Too far gone (Wait until tonight, girl) Like you're runnin' out (If you think you're lonely now) Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, babe (Wait until tonight, girl) You say you're 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 fallin' 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, tired of this same old stuck in the hour (Wait until tonight, girl) It's been too long (If you think you're lonely now) You think, you could start all over again, it's been too long (Wait until tonight, girl) You think you could start it just one more time (If you think you're lonely now)
