Anna Lam Winter Recital

Two lonely people who aren't right for each other but will do for one night. Seger wrote the song after seeing the movie The Sting, starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. In the film, there's scene where Redford puts the moves on a waitress, who says, "I don't even know you." He replies: "You know me. I'm the same as you. It's two in the morning and I don't know nobody."

"That just hit me real hard," Seger told the Detroit Free Press in 1994. "The next day I wrote 'We've Got Tonight,' this song about two people who say 'I'm tired. It's late at night. I know you don't really dig me, and I don't really dig you, but this is all we've got, so let's do it.

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searchin' even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late I know you're weary (weary)
Ooh, I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely (lonely)
Both of us lonely (lonely)
We've got tonight (we've got tonight)
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light (turn out the light)
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
Oh, we've got tonight (we've got tonight)
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light (turn out the light)
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
Oh-oh, oh, why don't you stay?
