Tonight
Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why won't you come home,
Tell me that you love me
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Why won't you please
Tell me baby
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I tried my best,
To show you that I love you
But you were untrue
I don't know why
You lied, but
You lied to me
Why won't you come home,
Squeeze me baby
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Why won't you squeeze me
With all your might
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I tried my best,
To show you that I love you
But you were untrue
I don't know why




You lied, but
You lied to me
