I Need You Tonight
Backstreet Boys · Millennium
Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind
I know that we have been through so much babe,
But I still need you in my life this time, and...
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
i really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words come out so wrong
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and...
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
'Cause i see heaven
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
'Cause i see heaven in your eyes
And say what's on your mind
I know that we have been through so much babe,
But I still need you in my life this time, and...
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
i really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words come out so wrong
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and...
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
'Cause i see heaven
CHORUS
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
'Cause i see heaven in your eyes
