Original Musician: Wilson Pickett/Steve Cropper



Gonna wait till the midnight hour

When there's no one else around

Gonna wait till the midnight hour

When my love comes tumbling down

I'm gonna take you girl, and hold you

And do all the things I told you 

In the midnight hour

Yes I will, yes I will



Well, gonna wait until the stars come out

And my love begins to shine

Gonna wait till the midnight hour

Then I'm gonna make you mine

You're the only girl I know

Who really really loves me so

In the midnight hour

Yes you are, yes you are



I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour
