Baby, Come Out Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, won't you come out tonight?
Just come up the hill
'Cause there's a full moon on the risin'
Hey baby, can't you steal away?
You know I really need to see you tonight

[Verse 2]
I just got word you was packing it in
What's the matter?
Has this old town got you crazy again?
I can see the sad look in your eyes
But I don't know how to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
And tomorrow, you're gonna have your day
Take your wife and you're gonna run away
Baby, while I'm waiting
You'll be sailing like a hawk across the bay
Singing

[Chorus]
Ooh, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
Hmm-mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Baby, won't you come out tonight?
[Verse 4]
Oh baby, won't you come out tonight?
We'll run up the hill and we'll dance in the moonlight
Let me gaze into your eyes 'til we both go blind
Oh baby, can I see you tonight?

[Verse 5]
I'm just tryin' to find a way to make it last
Good friends, they seem to slip away so fast
And I know we're both headed down separate tracks
An when you go, baby don't look back

[Verse 6]
There won't be no more sleeping over on a Tuesday night
No more running to the races for a dark horse at midnight
No more dancing after hours, singing in the shower
Or clinging to each other in the soft morning light
Singing

[Chorus]
Ooh, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la, la
Oh, baby, won't you come out tonight?

[Verse 7]
Oh baby, won't you come tonight?
I'll meet you on the corner
And you'll be there at midnight
Ooh baby, can you steal away?
You know I really want to see you tonight
[Verse 8]
Oh baby, can you come out tonight?
We'll run up the hill and dance again in the moonlight
Oh baby, can you steal away?
I really wanna see you tonight

[Verse 9]
Oh baby, won't you come out tonight?
Come up the hill
There's a full moon on the rise
Oh baby, can you steal away?
Baby, won't you come out tonight?

[Outro]
Ooh-hoo, hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, ooh
Baby, won't you come out

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
