We Got Tonight
Kenny Rogers And Sheena Easton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Deep in my soul I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last, let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
The song "We've Got Tonight" by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton tells the story of two lonely people who come together for one night to find comfort in each other's company. Despite knowing that their affair is fleeting and that it will not lead to anything long-lasting, the couple decides to enjoy the moment and forget about the future. Both of them are weary from the vicissitudes of life, and they seek solace in each other's company.
The song's lyrics expertly capture the raw emotion and vulnerability of the two characters. They acknowledge their loneliness and desperation, and, in a moment of honesty, confess their innermost feelings to each other. The lyrics convey the message that it is better to love and lose than never to have loved at all, a sentiment that is as relevant today as it was when the song was released. The use of metaphors and imagery such as stars, shelter, and fading hopes adds to the emotional depth of the song, making it poignant and relatable.

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry? No one will care, girl
Look at the stars above, so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today
So there it is, girl, we've got it all now
(And here we are, babe, what do you say?)
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?

I know your plans don't include me
(Still here we are) both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight (who needs tomorrow?)
Let's make it last (let's find a way)
Turn off the light (oh, come take my hand now)
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't we stay?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't we stay?
