 (Power chords)
 I've been waiting for you, It's been so long.
 I knew just what I would do, when I heard your song.
 You filled my heart with your bliss, you gave me freedom.
 You knew I could not resist, I needed someone.
 And now we're flyin' through the stars I hope this night lasts forever...
  Huh, Huh, Huh, Hu-h...

 (Power Chords)
 I wait for night time to come, to bring you to me.
 I can't bel-ieve I'm the one; I was so lone-ly.
 I feel like no one could feel; I must be dream-ing.
 I want this dream to be real. I need this feel-ing.
 I make my wish upon a star and hope this night will last forever
  Huh, Huh, Huh, Hu-h...
 Ain't nobody, (nobody!) loves me better,
 makes me happy, makes me feel this way.
 Ain't nobody, (nobody babe...) loves me better (nobody makes me feel..)
 Ain't nobody, loves me better (than
 |you).  |  |  |
 |  |  At|  first you put your |arms  around me.
 |  |  Th-|-en  you put your ch|arms  around me.
 |  |  I  ca|n't  re-sist this swe|et  surrender,
 |  |  o-|n  a night so wa|rm  and tender.
 |  |  We|stare  into each o|ther's  eyes,
 |  |  and|  what we see is |no  surprise.
 |  |  |  Got a fee-ling m|ost  would treasure,
 |  | and  a |  love so deep we |cannot  measure!
 Ain't nobody (nobody!), loves me better (that .. can make me feel this way.)
 Makes me happy, makes me feel this way
 Ain't nobody (ain't nobody) , loves me better (nobody)
 Ain't nobody, loves me better (nobody baby..)
 Ain't nobody, (nobody baby..) loves me better
 (Repeat and fade out)
 Some fill-ins sung by Chaka Kahn during the last Choruses before fade out:
 (Aaah (you) make me feel just like your love, (is) so much love,
 (I) can't look up, feel the bonk of love ... now I know .. another bite ..
 makes me want to scream and shout ... whoa .. nobody)
 A Note on Lyrics:
 Chorus parts were sung by background singers. Parts sung by Chaka Kahn during Chorus are
 listed in (parentheses).
 A Note on Chords:
 (1) You can use "Bm7" (B minor Seven) instead of "D/B", wich means "D major using a "B"
 instead of a "D" as lowest note.
 (2) In the VERSES: If you prefer to (to some of you, it might sound better), you can
 also use plain "D" major chords instead of "D/C" and "D/E".
 I play those chords around the seventh fret. There, those base notes sound OK to me.
 (3) "B7sus4" means a B suspended chord with an additional seventh
 and a fourth ("E") note instead of the third. The notes (1-5-7-4') are (B-F-a-e).
 "Cmaj7" means a plain C major chord with an addtional major seventh ("B") note.
 "Em" and "Am" mean "E minor" and "A minor" chords.
 Credits:
 I'd like to thank the guy who posted the previous "intermediate" chords and lyrics
 version for providing me with a basis to work on.
 Basically I did not entirely agree with the chords and changed some of the phrasing in
 the lyrics
 to match with what I heard on the 1984 Rufus and Chaka Kahn recording.
 I hope some folks think it was worthwhile enhancing it.
