Lamont Dozier - Let Me Start Tonite lyrics
rate meDo you remember the day<br />
When you walked away<br />
I never had a chance<br />
To tell my story<br />
<br />
I'd been out all night<br />
Had too much to drink<br />
And couldn't think<br />
<br />
I just lost my job<br />
And thought that I'd been robbed<br />
And feeling lonely was to blame<br />
For the lipstick stains<br />
<br />
Just let me start tonight<br />
Setting everything right<br />
With you and me, baby<br />
Ooh, wee<br />
<br />
I'm not too proud to plead<br />
I'll beg on bended knee<br />
To get you back, baby<br />
Yes, I will<br />
<br />
You got me doing time<br />
Going out of my mind <br />
<br />
Honey, you got the key<br />
Won't you set me free<br />
Girl, have pity on me<br />
<br />
I'll make the change<br />
I'll rearrange everything<br />
Cause there's no light without you<br />
<br />
I got my head together<br />
I promise never to<br />
Hurt you again, baby<br />
<br />
Let me start tonight<br />
Setting everything right<br />
With you and me, baby<br />
Ooh, girl, ooh, honey<br />
<br />
I'm not too proud to plead<br />
I'll beg on bended knees<br />
To get you back home, darling<br />
Yes, I will<br />
<br />
There's somebody out there lonely tonight<br />
And for one reason or another<br />
You're having trouble with your lover<br />
Well, here's a lesson for free<br />
Already been tested by me<br />
<br />
If there's somebody you want bad enough<br />
You won't mind pushing aside your pride<br />
Cause whatever's needed to get over<br />
You shoot your best shot<br />
Give it all you got<br />
<br />
It all depends on how much<br />
You want it and how bad<br />
Cause it definitely can be had<br />
That's why I don't mind begging<br />
Oh, yeah, for my lady<br />
<br />
Now I want you all to sing along with me<br />
Maybe my baby will feel sorry for me<br />
And come on back home, right here<br />
<br />
(Let me start tonight, let me start tonight)<br />
Oh, oh, yeah<br />
(Let me start tonight, let me start tonight)<br />
Think I need to call my lady and tell her<br />
<br />
To let me start tonight<br />
Setting everything right<br />
With you and me, baby<br />
Oh, yeah<br />
<br />
I'm not too proud to plead<br />
I'll beg on bended knees<br />
To get you back home, darling<br />
<br />
You just let me start tonight...
