Come to Me Tonight

- Frankenstein Love (1992), My So-Called Life Soundtrack (1995)

come to me tonight
if you can hear me thinking
come see me tonight
I don't need to invite
if you can catch the vibes
come see me tonight
yesterday is gone again
I'm thinking how it might have been
it's getting really late
and I'm not feeling too great
come see me tonight
girl, come share my dream
'cause reality sucks
come see me tonight
I know you've thought of it before
I'm waiting for the knock upon my door
please don't make me beg
if you can hear my thinking
come see me tonight
I'm not pulling your leg
can you hear me calling
come to me tonight
I'm hoping for a girl like you
none other would really do
come to me tonight
