Well well, it's all right, it's all right
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl, it's all right shucks
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't wanna dream (dream about you baby)
Come on (hold back the night) hold it
(Turn on the lightsm don't wanna dream)
Oh no no no no no no-no (dream about you baby)
When you left you took the sun right out of the sky
I'm wondering why you went away, never told me huh told me why
And then the sun goes down and the moon is clear
Scared to death 'cause your face appears
Come on
(Hold back the night) baby (turn on the lights)
Don't wanna dream, dream about you baby
Come on (hold back the night) hold it
(Turn on the lights) don't wanna dream
Oh no no no no no no-no (dream about you baby)
Loneliness is haunting me when I go to bed honey
Like a character in a book, in a book that I read huh
Now when the sun goes down the moon is clear
Scared to death 'cause your face I've missed, you know
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Well well well well well well well well baby, it's alright
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl, it's all right oh
Night time is the right time for loving you
Loving for loving you
Baby, baby, lady, baby
Why don't you just hold it, my love yeah
You know I need it, my love
Hold me, squeeze me, just love me, just squeeze me
It's all right talkin' about day or night
Talkin' about it's all right oh yeah
Night time is the right time for loving you
Loving you for loving you
Baby, baby, lady, baby
Bib-bib-bib-brrr-lib-idy-dib-bib bib-baby, it's all right
(Hold back the night turn on the lights)
(Don't wanna dream, dream about you baby)
Well well well well well well well well baby, it's alright
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl, it's all right oh
