There'll be no reason for teasin' me so.
And when the dancin' is thru and folks will be few
I'll be here sittin' with no one but you
And I'll be needin you so after the lights go down low.
I wanna hold you, squeeze you as tight as I can,
I'd like to kiss you, please you and make you understand
Together we can have a good time.
After the lights go down low, baby, you know
There'll be no're as on for teasin' me so.
And we can cuddle up near wihout any fear
'Cause I've got some sweet talk that you want to hear
And I'll be needin' you so after the lights go down low.
After the lights go down low, baby, you know
There'll be no're as on for teasin' me so.
And when the dancin' is thru and folks will be few
I'll be here sittin' with no one but you
And I'll be needin' you so after the lights go down low.

And when you thrill me, you fill me with love so divine.

And we can cuddle up near without any fear
'Cause I've got some sweet talk that you want to hear
And I'll be needin' you so after the lights go do wn low.
