Here with You Tonight
(Robert Palmer/Pete Gage)
Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel you’re dying
And the world doesn’t care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on
Well there’s one right here
But let’s get one thing clear
I ain’t no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I’ll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I’ll be gone
No commitments, no ties
One thing there won’t be no lies
‘Cos I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing
Just until you’ve started improving
Then I’ll have to ride
Coz like I told you babe
I ain’t no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I’ll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I’ll be gone gone whoo
So remember what I told ya
Just tonight I’ll stay and hold you
Till you feel OK
A little loving to ease the pain
Until you feel yourself again
And then I’m on my way
Just like I told you babe
I ain’t no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I’ll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I’ll be gone gone gone whoo
I’ll be gone ha I’ll be gone
Lord it’s been long long long
Cause’ I’ll be gone
Can’t afford to hang on
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
Huh
