One of my favorite songs by Bobby Womack. He died yesterday at the age of 70.

Bobby Womack — (March 4, 1944 –June 27, 2014)
I wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers tonight. And I expect that might be the whole world. Because everybody needs something or someone to love.
When it’s cold outside who are you holding? You know, if y’all don’t mind I’d like to talk about this woman of mine. She’s always complainin’ bout me never bein’ at home. But when I’m there I’m broke.
She’s tellin’ me about the things that her girlfriend’s got. What she ain’t got and she wants me to go out and get em for her. But girl, I can’t be in two places at one time.
If you think you’re lonely now, huh. Wait until tonight, girl. If you think you’re lonely now, I’ll be long gone. Wait until tonight, girl. And you’ll find another man that’ll treat you right.
If you think you’re lonely now, When I ain’t there to rub your back. Wait until tonight, girl. Just remember I made it a long fact.
And when the skeletons come out of the closet. And chase you all around your room. And the memories sail round like a ghost. And that’s a matter of fact, no joke, ah. If you think you’re lonely now, Oh wait until tonight girl.
I’ll be long gone. If you think you’re lonely now, And you’ll never find another man that’ll treat you right. You just wait until tonight, girl…..
