DON'T YOU WANT TO BE A LOVER TONIGHT
(Sterling Whipple)


Tanya Tucker - 1980



        

It's the time of night when lovers head for home
With polite goodbyes to the others who sleep alone
From the bright lights and the crowds they disappear
While you and I make up our minds right here

Don't you want to be a lover tonight
Behind some closed door where dreams can take flight
I'd love to see your face if we get it right
Oh, come with me and be a lover tonight

(Instrumental Break)

We can make the world a better place to be
As part of it is simply you and me
And one thing even two can do for sure
Is make some love that wasn't here before

Don't you want to be a lover tonight
Behind some closed door where dreams can take flight
I'd love to see your face if we get it right
Oh, come with me and be a lover tonight

I said, don't you want to be a lover tonight
Oh, come with me and be my lover tonight
