Let Me Start Tonite Lyrics By Lamont Dozier

    do you remember the day
    when you walked away
    i never had a chance
    to tell my story

    i’d been out all night
    had too much to drink
    and couldn’t think

    i just lost my job
    and thought that i’d been robbed
    and feeling lonely was to blame
    for the lipstick stains

    just let me start tonight
    setting everything right
    with you and me baby
    lyrics courtesy top40db
    ooh wee

    i’m not too proud to plead
    i’ll beg on bended knee
    to get you back baby
    yes i will

    you got me doing time
    going out of my mind

    honey you got the key
    won’t you set me free
    girl have pity on me

    i’ll make the change
    i’ll rearrange everything
    cause there’s no light without you

    i got my head together
    i promise never to
    hurt you again baby

    let me start tonight
    setting everything right
    with you and me baby
    ooh girl ooh honey

    i’m not too proud to plead
    i’ll beg on bended knees
    to get you back home darling
    yes i will

    there’s somebody out there lonely tonight
    and for one reason or another
    you’re having trouble with your lover
    well here’s a lesson for free
    already been tested by me

    if there’s somebody you want bad enough
    you won’t mind pushing aside your pride
    cause whatever’s needed to get over
    you shoot your best shot
    give it all you got

    it all depends on how much
    you want it and how bad
    cause it definitely can be had
    that’s why i don’t mind begging
    oh yeah for my lady

    now i want you all to sing along with me
    maybe my baby will feel sorry for me
    and come on back home right here

    let me start tonight let me start tonight
    oh oh yeah
    let me start tonight let me start tonight
    think i need to call my lady and tell her

    to let me start tonight
    setting everything right
    with you and me baby
    oh yeah

    i’m not too proud to plead
    i’ll beg on bended knees
    to get you back home darling

    you just let me start tonight
