I just wanna be in your arms tonight,

Let go of the drama and just be us tonight

I just wanna be yours tonight, the one you come home to tonight

I’m missing you tonight, even though there’s still sunlight

Oh, love of mine come back tonight

I love you tonight, I replay our whole relationship over and over

I won’t let myself forget us tonight

I just wanna be in your hands tonight,

Let go of the lies and just be us tonight

I just wanna be yours tonight, the one you run home to tonight

I’m missing you tonight, even though there’s still sunlight

Oh, love of mine come back tonight

Pretty one I miss you tonight,

Kiss me like it’s the first time tonight

Let the record player get stuck on that one hook for hours tonight

You’re all mine tonight

Let’s fight and make up tonight

Let’s do it right tonight

I love you tonight, I replay our whole relationship over and over

I won’t let myself forget us tonight

My horoscope says you’re coming back,

When are you coming back to me?

Tonight
