That dancing moon is on the water. 
Do you feel inclined romantically? 
If you do, I think you oughtta,
Love someone like me.
Ain't no place you should be goin'. 
Ain't no need for you to leave. 
It's a lovers' night, the stars are showin', 
You need to love someone like me.
Someone else might try to find you, 
But my love can set you free. 
And if your heart has got a mind to, 
You could love someone like me.
Instrumental break.
Don't need luck to find good lovin', 
And it don't happen magically.
And, baby, tonight, oh, you don't need nothin 
To love someone like me.
If you've been thinkin' love won't find you,
Well, honey, wait right here and see.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
