[Intro]
Tonight is the night, baby
You know for the first time in my life
I think I found what I want

[Verse 1]
Tonight is the night, I wanna be with you
You look like the kind of woman I wanna hold on to
Come a little closer, let me show you how much I care
(Tonight is the night)
Tonight is the night, please stay right here

[Chorus]
Oh, life would be so sweet if I had you, baby
Don't you know that life would be so sweet if I had you
If I just had you (Tonight is the night)

[Verse 2]
Let me show you a love you never felt before
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
I'm gonna give you all that I have, and then some more
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
Come on, baby, I know you want me to
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
Kiss me this way and that way and this way, baby
'Til I'm all over you
[Chorus]
(Life) Life could be so sweet if I had you, if I had you
(Life) Life could be so sweet if I had you, oh
(Tonight is the night)

[Bridge]
You know, girl, I thought I seen it all
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
But you're something special, so very special

[Verse 3]
And I've been all over the world, tryna find someone like you
But for the first time in my life, I realize it wasn't so easy to do
But now that I found your love, I won't let you get away, no
'Cause you're the sunshine that brightens up my day

[Chorus]
Life would be so sweet if I had you, yeah
(Life) Life would be so sweet if I had you
(Tonight is the night)

[Verse 4]
Tonight is the night I wanna be with you
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
You got the kind of lovin' I wanna hold on to
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
Come a little closer and let me show you how much I care
(Whoa-oh, tonight is the night)
Tonight is the night, please stay right here
[Outro]
Oh, life would be so sweet if I had you
Life would be so sweet if I had you
If I had you girl, I know that
(Life) Life would be so sweet if I had you
Life could be so sweet if I had you
