Lyrics
By Tonight
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.
Much too soon you're gonna know I'm strong
I don't care what's right or wrong,
I'm gonna find you by tonight.
I've been so long searching for you
And there ain't a thing that you can do
'Cos I'm gonna be there by tonight.
If you're feeling edgy then you better catch a train,
Or you may see my face at your window pane
I'm gonna get you by tonight.
I've listened and waited and watched every move
I'm tortured and twisted, got something to prove
And I ain't the kind that you can easily soothe
Now you're in for some trouble,
I'm telling the truth.
And you can't escape ....
