Lyrics:
Come over here
All you've got is this moment
Twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does, yeah, that's okay
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleepin'
There's somethin' about you, girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel? I'm lonely
What do you think? Can't think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleepin'
There's somethin' about you, girl
That makes me sweat
So how do you feel? I'm lonely
What do you think? Can't think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
How do you feel? I'm lonely
What do you think? Can't think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
Songwriter:
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
So slide over here and give me a moment
I've got to let you know, I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

SongFacts:
'Need You Tonight' is a 1987 INXS song written by Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss. It appeared on the album 'Kick'.
In the band's official autobiography, INXS, Andrew Farriss said that he had the song's guitar riff in his head as he waited for a taxi to take him to the airport. Upon arrival, Farris asked him to wait a few minutes to get something from the motel. Farris taped the song and made the cab driver wait an hour. Michael Hutchence later wrote the lyrics for the song.
The sounds of the song are reminiscent of electronic music. Sequencers are combined with drum machines and funk-oriented guitar riffs. Directed by Richard Lowenstein, the music video for Need You Tonight won five MTV Video Music Awards in 1988, including Video of The Year.
