Why Must We Wait Until Tonight
Tina Turner · Other Songs - Tina Turner
Tell me why? Why must we wait until tonight?
Tell me why? Why must we wait until tonight?
You wanna take a little time.
Wanna drink me like a fine wine.
Write the book of love line by line.
But I want to play with you, ooh...mmmm...right now.
Go all the way with you,baby...and show you how.
'Cause my body just can't say no.
and fingers just won't let go.
Tell me why? Baby. Why must we wait until tonight? Oh, yeah.
Tell me why? Why, when I've waited all my life?
You're touching me, I'm touching you...
Oooh, what should I do? Now tell me why, why must we wait 'till tonight?
You like to take it real slow.
Show me every little move you know.
Take a little love and watch it grow.
But I want to lay with you...darling.
Right now.
Make love all day with you baby.
And show you how...
Take my body, don't take my time.
Take your lips and make them mine.
Aaaaw.
Tell me why? Baby. Why must we wait until tonight? Oh, yeah.
Tell me why? Why, when I've waited all my life?
You're touching me, I'm touching you...
oooh, what should I do? Now tell me why, why must we wait 'till tonight?
Come on.
come on.
'Cause my body just can't say "no".
And my fingers just won't let go
Baby!
Oh tell me why?
Why must we wait until tonight
tell me baby...yeah
tell me why, when I've waited all my life - like you know I did.
Come on, tell me why...why must we wait until tonight? Come on. Come on.
Ohh.Tell me why, why when I've waited all my life. Tell me why.
Tell me why? Why must we wait until tonight?
You wanna take a little time.
