Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight is the night, oh yes it is, yes it is, for me to make sweet love to my baby
I said tonight is gon' be mine baby, I said tonight is mine baby, I'm makin' love between the sheets
I said tonight is gon' be yours, tonight is your night baby, tonight is the night
I said tonight is mine baby, I'm makin' love between the sheets. I said tonight is gon' be yours, tonight is the night

Yes it is, for me to make sweet love to my baby
Sometimes you my lady, and you drive me crazy, and I'm about to take you anywhere you wanna go
First I wanna know if you ready right now, and if you ready right, you know where we at
Oh girl I know, it's gon' be trouble ain't it, pour me a double ain't it

I said tonight is gon' be mine baby, I said tonight is mine baby, I'm makin' love between the sheets
I said tonight is gon' be yours, tonight is the night
I said tonight is mine baby, I'm makin' love between the sheets. I said tonight is gon' be yours, tonight is the night
I'm not nervous, no more trippin', and I've been waitin' for you to walk in

You, try to catch me like this, and I'm just keepin' it real
Oh baby cause I know, it's gon' be trouble ain't it, pour me a double ain't it
Ain't bad with some bubbles in here, cause I know, ain't no room in for others ain't it, only for lovers ain't it
Oh I just wanna make love to you, I said tonight is gon' be mine baby, I'm makin' love between the sheets

I said tonight is gon' be yours, tonight is the night
Make your love between the hands
I said the night is gonna be long
I'll take you there

Anywhere you wanna go, baby
I'll take you there
To the hills of California, baby
I'll take you there

Anywhere you wanna go
I'll take you there
I just wanna make love to you
I said the night is gonna be long

I said I wanna hit the slate
I'll make your love between the sheets
I said the night is gonna be long
I said the night is gonna be long

I'm out of bed, I'm sippin' wine in here




I'm out of bed, I'm makin' love between my legs
I said the night is gonna be long

Overall Meaning

T.T. Ross's "Tonight Is The Night" is a song that captures the longing and heartache of Saturday nights spent alone, reminiscing about past Saturday nights spent with a loved one. The first verse highlights the stark contrast between Saturday night and the other days of the week. While Sunday brings the company of friends and the weekdays pass quickly, Saturday night is the loneliest night of all. This is because it is the night that the singer used to dance "cheek to cheek" with their "sweetie." The use of the past tense indicates that the singer is no longer with their loved one and is left to mourn the loss on this desolate night.


The second verse continues the theme of nostalgia and heartache. The singer admits that they sing the song as a way to seek out memories of their love. However, these memories only bring temporary solace, and the singer truly longs for the return of their loved one. The repetition of the phrase "until I hear you at the door, until you're in my arms once more" underscores the central idea of the song: the longing for the return of the person who made Saturday nights worth living for.


Overall, "Tonight Is The Night" is a poignant reflection on love and the pain of losing it. The singer's evocative lyrics capture the profound sadness of spending a Saturday night alone and the intense yearning for the return of a lost love.
