Stereo Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you woman
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
The lyrics to Stereo Dub's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" tell the story of a man who is encouraging his lover to let go of her inhibitions and spend a passionate night with him. He instructs her to disconnect the phone, draw the blinds, and relax while he pours her a drink. He promises her that he loves her and that there is no one who will stop their passion. The man speaks of his intense desire for her, urging her not to deny him, for she will be a fool to do so. He promises her that tonight will be a great night and that they should let their inhibitions run wild.
The song speaks to the timeless human desire for intimacy and the freedom to let go of oneself with another person. The lyrics are sensual and suggestive but never overtly explicit, leaving more to the imagination. The repetitive chorus of "Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright, cause I love you girl, ain't nobody gonna stop us now" effectively captures the mood and message of the song, promising an unforgettable and unstoppable night full of passion and love.
