The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one will care girl
Look at the stars now
So far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay
Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today
So there it is girl
I've said it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay
I know it's late
And I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me
Oh, still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Oooooh-ho, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
