(Bryan Adams & R.J. Lange)
Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight
Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight

You're gonna take a little time
Gonna drink me like a fine wine
Write the book of love line by line
But I wanna play with you baby
Right now
Go all the way with you baby
And show you how
'Cos my body just can't say no
And my fingers just won't let go

Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight
Tell me why
Why when I've waited all my life

You're touching me, I'm touching you
What should I do now?
Tell me why
Why must we wait till tonight

You like to take it real slow
Show me every little move you know
Take a little love and watch it grow
But I wanna lay with you darling
Right now
Make love all day with you baby
And show you how
Take my body don't take my time
Take your lips and make them mine
Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight
Tell me why
Why when I've waited all my life
You're touching me, I'm touching you
What should I do now?
Tell me why
Why must we wait till tonight
