Verse 2:
I don't know myself
If it's wrong or right
All I know is what I can feel
So be my love tonight
You looked too young to know about romance, aww,
you know what I mean
But when you smiled I had to take a chance
I had to take a chance and be with you
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
(Well ton[E]ight) [B/D#]Won't you let me [C#m]sleep with you,[Emaj7/B] baby[A][Asus2]
(Well tonight) I just want to make you feel good inside, baby
(Well tonight) Let me feel the love that's in you
(Well tonight) Come on, come on, [unintelligible], baby, oh yeah
E [N.C.]
(Well tonight) [drum fill to end]
