[Intro]
I ain't never robbed or beat up on nobody
I ain't never failed no lie detector test
But tomorrow I'm gonna be the town's most wanted man
But tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna shave, shower, shine my shoes, and shampoo
Break out my pinstriped suit with the matching vest
Climb in my four hundred horse-wide track-rolling apartment van
Tonight I'm gonna lay some heart to rest
Tomorrow my face will be all over the post office wall
The town will put a price on my head
I'm gonna be some happy lady's most wanted man
'Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death
[Chorus]
Gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her, and show her no mercy
Premeditated loving at its best
It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death
[Verse 2]
See that seedy character smiling on the six o'clock news
Front page color Associated Press
You'll be looking at some happy lady's most wanted man
'Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death
[Chorus]
I'm gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her, and show her no mercy
Premeditated loving at its best
It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody
Tonight I'm gonna love somebody
Tonight I'm gonna love somebody
Tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death
[Outro]
And baby, it's gonna be you
Think about it now
