TONIGHT
(Roy Wood)

The Move

Also recorded by: The New Seekers


That's the road
it's over there
and leading down to nowhere.
This is the age when you're allowed
to have your own care
if you will have some pride to plan
your life ahead instead of waiting
'til you're old in your bed.

I'll be over tonight
if you say you might
I'll be over tonight
indeed to put you right.

well I know what you wrote
on your overcoat
but don't want to take it too far
oh I think you won't
but I know that you don't
you always say that you are

I'm so used to waiting that's entirely
your affair child don't feel restricted
by the weightless views you're given

if you will have some pride to fight
and front ahead
instead of saving
'til your young heart is dead.

I'll be over tonight...

Never let the riches that may ever be within you

so self concerned with all the love
that you have been through

if you will have some pride to plan
your life ahead instead of waiting
'til you're old in your bed.
