Took me so long to get up my courage
Never thought she'd give me a chance
Took her out and told her I loved her
Then she put my hand in her pants
And she said, come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like it's never been before
Because, tonight you're mine
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Tonight, I know there's no one else
Because, tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine
She woke up at four in the morning
Whispered to me, let's do it again
I felt strange like somethin' was missin'
Love is always pleasure and pain
But I said, come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like it's never been before
Because, tonight you're mine, sugar
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine
Was it somethin' we forgot to say
That took romance away
Can it be that now the feeling's gone
You know I can't be wrong
It took me so long
Because, tonight you're mine
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
Well tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine, yeah
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
Well tonight, oh, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine, sugar
Tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine
