I got a heartache tonight 

and the feel of the music just ain't right

I got a heartache tonight 

and now my baby is gone there's a hole in my life

come on give me a light - I gotta see her tonight

come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight



I gotta loosen my soul 

and this voice in my head has got to go

so come on sweeten my tea 

'cause this whole situation is gettin' to me

come on give me a light - gotta see her tonight

come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight



break:



I gotta live with this pain 

it's the only way I can get to the rain

so I'm depending on you

now my baby is gone what else can I do

come on give me a light - I gotta see her tonight

come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight



gotta see her tonight

see her tonight

gotta see her tonight

see her tonight

got a heart ache tonight

and the feel of the music just ain't right
