[Intro]
Tell me why, why must we wait until tonight?
Tell me why, why must we wait until tonight?

[Verse 1]
You wanna take a little time
Wanna drink me like a fine wine
Write the book of love line by line
But I wanna play with you, ooh, mmm, right now
Go all the way with you, baby, and show you how

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my body just can't say no
And my fingers just won't let go

[Chorus]
Tell me why, baby, why must we wait until tonight? Oh, yeah
Oh, tell me why, why, when I've waited all my life?
You're touching me, I'm touching you
Ooh, what should I do?
Now tell me why, why must we wait 'til tonight?

[Verse 2]
You like to take it real slow
Show me every little move you know
Take a little love and watch it grow
But I wanna lay with you, darling, right now
Make love all day with you, baby, and show you how

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my body, don't take my time
Take your lips and make them mine

[Chorus]
Ah, tell me why, baby, why must we wait until tonight? Oh, yeah
Tell me why, why, when I've waited all my life?
Ah, you're touching me, I'm touching you
Ooh, what should I do?
Now tell me why, why must we wait 'til tonight?

[Bridge]
Ah
Ooh, come on, come on
Come on, come on, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause my body just can't say "no"
And my fingers just won't let go
Baby

[Chorus]
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 and
Tell me why, why must we wait until tonight? Come on, come on
Oh, tell me why, oh, why when I've waited all my life?

[Outro]
Tell me why
