Bobby Womack — If You Think You're Lonely Now

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 complaining 'bout me never being at home But when I'm there I'm broke She's telling me 'bout 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, but girl, I can't be in two places at one time If you think you're lonely now, huh Wait until tonight, girl I'll be long gone And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right When I ain't there to rub your back Just remember I made it a known fact And the skeletons come out of the closet And chase you all around your room And the memories sail round like a ghost And dance around in a sad slow tune, ah If you think you're lonely now Oh, wait until tonight I'll be long gone And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right If you think you're lonely now Wai-ait, wait until tonight, girl Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn When things aren't going your way But when love runs out, and the pain walks in And settles for a stay, ooh Lord, help me, I feel like I wanna testify Girl, wait until tonight If you think you're lonely, lonely, lonely now Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl You see tonight's the night when the needs come out When your needs come out to breathe And the toils and snares and there ain't now way you can sleep, oh If you think you're lonely now I feel like I wanna testify this evening I'm lonely, cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl I just can't take no more Ooh...hoo...hoo... Ah, girl, you just wait If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait Wait Too far gone, I'm packing up now Ooh...hoo...ooh...hoo, babe You say you're a little lonely But everybody needs somebody to love It's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side That'll build you up when you're falling down And you had that someone, baby Cause I've done my time And it's your turn now If you think you're lonely now Wait, wait until tonight I'm tired I'm tired of the same old shuck and jive It's been too long If you think we could start all over again It's been too long If you think we could start just one more time
