I Need You Tonight
Punkin' Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight
Tonight I feel cold inside
Tonight
Tonight I want you by my side

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do to feel better
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do to feel warmer

The night
It makes me feel strange at times
Tonight
I′ll give my soul if you were mine

When you're here with me
When you′re here with me I feel better
When you're here with me
When you're here with me I feel warmer

Before I know it
You′re by my side
You make love to me
For the first time
Before you bring me
To ecstasy
You whisper to me
That you love me

The light
The light that shinning in your eyes
The line
Is near the strength I need tonight




Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do to feel better
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do to feel warmer

You
Are everything I need tonight
You
You make me feel in paradise

When you′re here with me
When you're here with me I feel better
When you′re here with me
When you're here with me I feel warmer

Before I know it
You′re by my side
You make love to me
For the first time
Before you bring me
To ecstasy
You whisper to me
That you love me

Tonight
Tonight I feel love inside
Tonight
Tonight I've got you by my side

Now I′ve got your love
Now I've got your love I feel better
Now I've got your love
Now I′ve got your love I feel warmer

Before I know it
You′re by my side
You make love to me
For the first time
Before you bring me
To ecstasy
You whisper to me
That you love me

Before I know it
You're by my side
You make love to me
For the first time
Before you bring me
To ecstasy
You whisper to me
That you love me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Punkin' Machine's song, "I Need You Tonight," suggest a vulnerable and lonely state of mind that the singer is experiencing. The repeated phrases "tell me what to do" and "tonight I feel cold inside" convey desperation and a need for comfort. The singer feels strange and out of place when alone, and only finds warmth and solace when the desire of their affection is present. The song reaches a pinnacle when the singer experiences ecstasy during lovemaking with their partner and is assured of their love.


The profound longing for intimacy and love in the verses of the song is highlighted by the chorus, which elaborates on the singer's need for the person they desire to be by their side to feel "better" and "warmer." The singer feels complete only when their lover is present and feels lost without them. This song could be interpreted as an expression of the natural human need for love and companionship.
