Lyrics:


1. Oh, oh, I love you so,
uh, uh, can't let you go
Ooh, ooh, don't tell me no, I need your love tonight
Oh, gee, the way you kiss, sweedee, too good to miss
Wow-whee, want more of this, I need your love tonight

2. I've been waiting just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Don't tell me baby you gotta go
I got the hifi high and the lights down low

3. Hey, now, hear what I say, oh, wow, you better stay
Pow, pow, don't run away,
I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight

I need your love tonight


1. 2. 3. (repeat)


I need your love tonight
