[Verse 1: Teddy Riley]
We can swing tonight, please don't be too late (Yep, yep)
Girl, I'm ready to do just what we said
On the telephone, excuses about you had to work
Don't give it that, baby, you're doing me the jerk
I ain't all about playing silly games
My telephone book has good and plenty names
I really don't know you
I really want to meet you
I'd really like to show you
That we can spend the night, tonight
[Chorus: Teddy Riley]
(We can spend the night, tonight) Yep, yep
(We can spend the night, tonight) Oh
(We can spend the night, tonight) Aw, we can swing it
(We can spend the night) Oh
I didn't know that you were so freaky
I thought you was around the age to have some milk and cookies
I changed my mind, you so grown-up
We can do the nasty without no interruptions
We can do it like this
We can do it like that
I know that I can handle it, baby, that's a fact
I know that I can give you some of this computer love (Yep, yep)
We can do this
We can do this
We can spend the night, tonight
[Chorus: Teddy Riley & Aaron Hall]
(We can spend the night, tonight) Oh (Swing it, baby)
(We can spend the night, tonight) We can spend the night tonight (Oh)
(We can spend the night, tonight) Tonight (Oh)
(We can spend the night) You and I, yep, yep

We can do the nasty, check me out (Hey)
Oh (Oh)
Oh, oh (Ooh, ooh)
Swing it, oh
Wanna give it to me, give it to me, oh

In an April 2012 interview with Soul Culture, Teddy Riley said:
After Aaron and I produced the song “Spend the Night,” the same day we were at Tony Bennett’s son, Dave’s house at Hill Sound Studios in Teaneck, New Jersey. After finishing that song, we were so happy and we were on our way back to the projects.
I remember I was driving my brand new 5.0 Mustang that Gene just gave to me. It was kind of icy on the ground and we were listening to the song. I was in tears listening to the first song I ever sung on. Not even 10 minutes from leaving Dave Bennett’s house, we got into a five car accident and it was my fault. I hit the gas because I was feeling good and I was singing my part of the song in the car. I hit the gas again and my car swerved and I ended up hitting four brand new Cadillac’s at a Cadillac dealership.
We went from side to side because it was a one way street and my foot was still on the gas so it felt like we were on a bad amusement park ride. At the end of it, we landed in a parking spot. My head hit the steering wheel and almost hit the glass. Aaron’s head and neck went into the glass, but it didn’t break because the dashboard was holding him back. His neck ended up being fractured and my face was bashed in and I was bleeding from the nose and mouth. I had my first car accident after singing my first song.
“Spend the Night” peaked at #15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart the week of September 2, 1989.
