I Need You Tonight Lyrics

When the music stops,
I walk you to your door
And we say goodnight,
Like a thousand times before

This is the night (night),
I just can't walk away, oh
This is the night,
I need you even more

Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
I can't wait til' tomorrow oh
I Need You Tonight

I drive away, but you're still on my mind
It's gettin' so hard leavin' you behind
This is the night I just want you to know, oh
This is the night I just can't let you go

Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
I can't wait til' tomorrow oh
I need you tonight

Yeah!

Oh!

Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
Why should we wait 'til tomorrow? oh, oh
I can't wait til' tomorrow oh
I need you tonight

And I need you tonight
'Cause I need you tonight

I Need You Tonight

After serving as frontman for the J. Geils Band from their formation in 1967, Peter Wolf left the band in 1983, launching a solo career with his 1984 album Lights Out. Following, the title track, it was Wolf's second single.

The song is about a man carrying on an affair with a woman he can only see occasionally but can no longer wait for. Thanks to the clips for the J. Geils Band songs Centerfold and Freeze-Frame, Wolf was a familiar face on MTV, and his video for "I Need You Tonight" got significant airplay. In the clip, Wolf plays a man smitten with a married woman whose husband is a wealthy and dangerous gangster.

Wolf wrote this song with Paul Bliss, whose other credits include "Heart Attack" for Olivia Newton-John and "Emotion" for Barbra Streisand.
