[Verse 1: Kandi / (Xscape)]
Come a little bit closer and look into my eyes
If only for a moment - boy, don't be surprised
I want you right here next to me
So tell me, can we spend some time?
So I can hold you softly in these gentle arms of mine
(And the moonlight's gazing, ooh)
Shining on my window pane
Beaming down on the midnight hour
I hear the sound of rain
[Chorus: Xscape / (Kandi)]
Tonight, tonight, oh (tonight)
Tonight, tonight, oh
[Verse 2: Tamika]
So, why don't you stay awhile?
I can't help it if you put me in a daze, boy
But you look so good to me, me
In your satin PJs
So, let's make love by candlelight
And listen to the quiet storm
As I kiss you in the places that make your body warm
[Chorus: Xscape / (Tamika)]
Tonight (yeah-yeah, yeah), tonight (hold me, baby), oh (oh, hold me, boy)
(I wanna make love)
Tonight (hold me, baby, and love me, baby), tonight (but don't), oh (let go of me, no)
[Break: LaTocha / *Kandi* / (Tiny) / ^Tameka^]
I'm holding you
*Holding you, holding you, holding you, holding you*
^I'm holding you, my baby, you^
(I'm holding you, I'm holding you)
I'm holding you
*Holding you, holding you, holding you, holding you*
^I'm holding you, holding you, you^
(I'm holding you, I'm holding you)
[Bridge: Xscape / (Tiny)]
Holding you tight (Tameka's holding ya tight)
All through the night (all through the night)
Holding you tight (boy)
All through the night
Looks like it's gonna rain (looks like it's gonna rain, baby)
Looks like it's gonna rain (I'll keep you warm)
Looks like it's gonna rain (come on in out of the rain, come on, come on)
Looks like it's gonna rain (yeah, you see I'm holding you)
Holding you tight (caressing you, oh)
All through the night (and I'll make you say)
Holding you tight (yeah-yeah)
All through the night (yeah)
[Outro: LaTocha / (Xscape)]
Yeah, I'm holding you, oh-oh-ooh
