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
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...
