In Want To Spend The Night
Bill Withers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to spend the night
With you
Forever

Every time we wind up spending the night
Together
Do you ever feel it?
I want to share my life
With you
Forever

Ever time we wind sharing a night
Together
Do you ever feel it?

And when I stay away from you
I never get to sleep
I try to hug my pillow
And pretend that you're with me
But I can't feel it

Then when we are together
It's right there for me to see
I can't keep looking at loneliness
And trying to call it freedom
Do you ever feel it?

I want to spend the night
With you
Forever

Every time we wind up spending the night
Together
Do you ever feel it?

Do you ever want to spend the night?
Do you ever want to spend the night?
Do you ever want to spend the night?




Do you ever want to spend the night?
Do you ever want to spend the night?
