The Night Time Is the Right Time Lyrics

You know the night time
Is the right time
Oh, to be, to be with the one you love

Come on, babe
I wanna be with the one I love
And you know
Yes, who I'm thinking of
I tell you night time (night time)
Yes, is the right time (right time)
Oh, to be with the one you love
Yes, it is

You know my mother, now
Had to die
And left, and left her poor child crying
Oh, come on, babe, I need you

Hold my hand
And I want you to squeeze me
Yeah, just tight as you can

I tell you night time (night time)
Yes, the night time is the right time (right time)
I believe it is to be with the one you love
Oh, yes, it is
I gotta call you, babe (babe)
Oh, babe (babe)
Babe (babe)
Oh, babe, now (babe)
You know that I love you (babe)
And I put no one above you (babe)
Hold on to my hand (babe)
Oh, say (Babe)
I tell you that night time (night and day)
I believe, I believe, I believe is the right time (right time)
To be, to be with the one you love

Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
