Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna take you girl, and hold you
And do all the things i told you
In the midnight hour
Yes i will, yes i will

Well, gonna wait until the stars come out
And my love begins to shine
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
Then i'm gonna make you mine
You're the only girl i know
Who really really loves me so
In the midnight hour
Yes you are, yes you are

I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour
I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour
I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour
I'm gonna wait, wait, wait till the midnight hour
