...and I Need To Be With Someone Tonight Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Shine on your light 

Lead me to your home 

Lower your sights 

Put away your comb 

Though black babies are starving 

And cows fed for the carving 

All I know is I'm lonely 

And I need to be with someone tonight 

Lift up your chin 

Let me see your eyes 

Words are not my yen 

My tongue is often tied 

Though apartheid's a greater issue 

I long to hear "I miss you" 

All I know is I'm lonely 

And I need to be with someone tonight 

'Till men stop being intimidated 

By women who have made it 

All I know is I'm lonely 

And I need to be with someone tonight
