...and I need to be with someone tonight

Shine on your light
Lead me to your home

Lower your sights
Put away your comb

Though black babies are starving
And cows fed for the carving

All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight

Lift up your chin
Let me see your eyes

Words are not my yen
My tongue is often tied

Though apartheid's a greater issue
I long to hear "I miss you"

All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight

'Till men stop being intimidated
By women who have made it

All I know is I'm lonely
And I need to be with someone tonight
