I got a heartache tonight
And the feel of the music just ain't right
I got a heartache tonight
And now my baby is gone there's a hole in my life
Come on give me a light - I gotta see her tonight
Come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight

I gotta loosen my soul
And this voice in my head has got to go
So come on sweeten my tea
'cause this whole situation is gettin' to me
Come on give me a light - gotta see her tonight
Come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight

Break:

I gotta live with this pain
It's the only way I can get to the rain
So I'm depending on you
Now my baby is gone what else can I do
Come on give me a light - I gotta see her tonight
Come on set me alight - gotta see my baby tonight

Gotta see her tonight
See her tonight
Gotta see her tonight
See her tonight
Got a heart ache tonight
And the feel of the music just ain't right
