Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I took it all I'll warn you
I never meant to
If I left you outside
If you ever felt like I'd ignore you
No my life is all you
So put your best dress on
Who wants to give you all the love you want
Tonight, I'm gonna make it up to you
Tonight, I'm gonna make love to you
Tonight, you're gonna know how much I missed you, baby
Tonight, I dedicate my heart to you
Tonight, I'm gonna be a part of you
Tonight, you're gonna know how much I miss you
And I miss you so
I don't want to act like
I know that you'd be mine forever
Though I hope it's forever
Don't want you to feel like
I take you for granted
Whenever we are together
So put your best dress on
And wrap yourself in the arms of someone
Who wants to give you all the love you want
Tonight, I'm gonna make it up to you
Tonight, I'm gonna make love to you
Tonight, you're gonna know how much I miss you, baby
Tonight, I dedicate my heart to you
Tonight, I'm gonna be a part of you

Tonight, you're gonna know how much I miss you
And I miss you so

Tonight
[Bryan:]
Ultimamente eu estou tão cansado
Se eu descontei em você
Eu nunca tive a atenção
Se eu te deixei lá fora
Se você achou que eu te ignorei
Não, minha vida é só você
Então coloque seu melhor vestido
E se aconchegue nos braços de alguém
Que quer te dar todo amor que você quiser
Esta noite, eu vou te recompensar
Esta noite, eu vou fazer amor com você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto senti sua falta, baby
Esta noite, eu dedico meu coração a você
Esta noite, eu vou ser parte de você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto eu sinto sua falta
E eu sinto tanto sua falta
[Shane:]
Eu não quero agir como
Se eu soubesse que você seria minha pra sempre
Embora espero que seja pra sempre
Não quero que você sinta
Como se eu não te desse valor
Sempre que estamos juntos
Então coloque seu melhor vestido
E se aconchegue nos braços de alguém
Que quer te dar todo amor que você quiser
[Todos:]
Esta noite, eu vou te recompensar
Esta noite, eu vou fazer amor com você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto sento sua falta, baby
Esta noite, eu dedico meu coração a você
Esta noite, eu vou ser parte de você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto eu sinto sua falta
E eu sinto tanto sua falta
[Shane:]
Oh yeah
Então coloque seu melhor vestido
E se aconchegue nos braços do meu amor
[Todos:]
Esta noite, eu vou te recompensar
Esta noite, eu vou fazer amor com você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto sento sua falta, baby
Esta noite, eu dedico meu coração a você
Esta noite, eu vou ser parte de você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto eu sinto sua falta
Baby
Esta noite, eu vou te recompensar
Esta noite, eu vou fazer amor com você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto sento sua falta, baby
Esta noite, eu dedico meu coração a você
Esta noite, eu vou ser parte de você
Esta noite, você vai saber o quanto eu sinto sua falta
E eu sinto tanto sua falta

Who wants to give you all the love you want
Tonight I gonna make it up to you
Tonight I'm gonna make love to you
Tonight you're gonna know how much I miss you, baby
Tonight I dedicate my heart to you
Tonight I gonna be a part of you

Who wants to give you all the love you want
Tonight I dedicate my heart to you
Tonight I gonna be a part of you
Tonight you're gonna know how much I miss you, and I miss you
Tonight everytime I see your face
Tonight watching all over the place
