[Verse 1]
(Midnight...)
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumblin' down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
(Good God, dance!)
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
[Chorus]
Oh, the midnight hour (whoa yes, I am)
Oh, the midnight hour
Oh, the midnight...
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
So I can see them twinkle in your eye
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
You're the only girl I know, that really loves me so
[Chorus]
In the midnight hour
Oh, the midnight hour (oh yes, you are)
Oh, the midnight, ooh...
Everybody, sing it for me now, yeah
Oh, the midnight hour
You sound pretty good to me
Oh, the midnight hour (ooh, ooh)
Oh, the midnight hour (yeah, yeah)
Oh, the midnight hour
[Verse 1]
Said I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumblin' down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour, baby
