Bobby Womack - If You Think You're Lonely Now Lyrics

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 want 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
If you think you're lonely now
I'll be long gone (wait until tonight, girl)
And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right

If you think you're lonely now
When I ain't there to rub your back (wait until tonight, girl)
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 (if you think you're lonely now)
Oh, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)
I'll be long gone (if you think you're lonely now)
And you'll never find another man that'll treat you right (you just wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now (if you think you're lonely now)
Wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl (wait until tonight, girl)

Girl, ain't it funny how the tables turn?
When things aren't going your way
But when love walks out and the pain walks in
And settles for a stay, ooh

If you think you're lonely now
Lord, help me
I feel like I wanna testify (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
Girl, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely, lonely, lonely now (if you think you're lonely now)
Oh, just wait until tonight, girl (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
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 (if you think you're lonely now)
Wait until tonight, girl
I feel like I wanna testify this evening
If you think you're lonely now
I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl
I just can't take no more (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
Oh, girl, you just wait (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
Wait (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think you're lonely now
Too far gone, I'm packing up now (wait until tonight, girl)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, babe (if you think you're lonely now)
Wait until tonight, girl
You say you're a little lonely (if you think you're lonely now)
But everybody needs somebody to love
Wait until tonight, girl

It's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side (if you think you're lonely now)
That'll build you up when you're falling down (wait until tonight, girl)
And you had that someone, baby (if you think you're lonely now)
'Cause I've done my time (wait until tonight, girl)
And it's your turn now
If you think you're lonely now (if you think you're lonely now)
Wait, wait until tonight (wait until tonight, girl)

If you think you're lonely now
I'm tired
I'm tired of the same old shuck and jive (you just wait until tonight, girl)
It's been too long
If you think you're lonely now
If you think we could start all over again
It's been too long (wait until tonight, girl)
If you think we could start just one more time
If you think you're lonely now
