I Need You Tonight

[Professor Green]
This ain't so stereotypical man
Not for a stereotypical man
It should be me that wants to get rid of you
Instead it's you that don't give a damn (what?)
It was meant to be a one night ting
Nothing more than a little one night fling
Now when I'm in need you're the one I ring (I need you tonight)
But she's playing hard to get
A brunette with such class
She's hard to forget
See at first I wasn't after her heart
But I couldn't stop thinking about her after I left
I'm beginning to lose my cool
It appears in love I have fallen (whoops!)
I'm ready to put my all in
And all she does is ignore my calls!

CHORUS [Ed Drewett]:
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me?
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right?
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

[Professor Green]
This lady's driving me crazy
She blows hot and cold like the A.C.
I just can't figure her out
Next time I'm with her I'm pinning her down (Oi)
I'm gonna' find out if she's on it or not (not, not)
‘Cause all of this shit is long (long, long)
See I front like I'm okay but I'm not
I'm being played at my own game and it's long (long blud)
I ain't no eedjit
I'm pro, I'm no intermediate
So next time she 'phones me
I ain't even gonna pick up the phone to speak, init?
[Telephone rings]
Nope, swear down,
[Telephone rings]
Wait a minute, that's her now..

[Green] Hello?
[Girl]  I really wanna' see you today
[Green] Alright, just give me a time and a place and I'm there

CHORUS [Ed Drewett]:
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me?
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right?
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I want you
Won't stop until I've got you
There's nothing that I won't do
I need you tonight

[Professor Green]
Look
I ain't never been the type to be this (no) 
I ain't never been the type to be with
she's exposin' a side of me that, I'm tryna' fight, I'm tryna' hide
My pride, I'm tryna' find it
But ain't seen it
I'm an eedjit
I know I can't help it I'm fiending!
(I need you tonight)

OUTRO CHORUS [Ed Drewett] (Professor Green in brackets):
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
(I am...)
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me?
(...in a bad place) 
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right?
(This stuff don't happen to me, I'm me!)
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!
(Swear down, It's just a song, in real life) 
I need you, I need you
(This would never happen to me, I am a pimp) 
I need you, I need you
Won't stop until I've got you
(women chase me, I do not chase women, swear down)
I need you, I need you tonight…
(Swear down)
