Jimmy Jam - If You Were Here Tonight lyrics

[Verse 1] As the night moves in Love takes on new meaning If you were here You would know what I mean to say Circumstance Leaves me only waiting For the chance I only want to love you more, more [Pre Chorus] Can't you understand it Girl, you know how much I care It's not the way I planned it, no If you could only know my feelings You would know how much I do believe [Chorus] If you were here tonight By my side If you were with me now [Verse 2] When the lights go out I can not pretend This bed's too big All for me to be in alone, all alone Slow burn Light a candle for our love, love So we'll always be One to one in love, oh [Pre Chorus] Can't you understand it Girl, you know how much I care It's not the way I planned it, no If you could only know my feelings You would know how much I do believe [Chorus] If you were here tonight, all night By my side If you were with me now [Verse 3] Every night alone I just wait here anticipating For the day I won't feel this pain, baby Please don't keep me waiting Come to me [Chorus] If you were here tonight, oh girl Be by my side If you were with me now Girl, this bed's too big for me For me to be in all alone All alone Don't keep me waiting, baby If you were with me now Oh oh ooh hold me girl All night To fend for myself Girl, do me right Got nobody else All by myself Got nobody else Girl this love is strong Please turn me on I'll be with you tonight Make our love alright Do just what you feel Please don't be a tease Girl, I love you more You're the one that I adore Don't leave me lonely Cold by myself All alone tonight To fend for myself
