See You Tonight

    Singer: Scotty McCreery

    Girl, you know I love talking to you on the phone

    I can listen to your sweet voice all night long

    Sometimes, I can get by with a “Sweet dreams, baby, good night”

    But this time, well, I don’t want to spend it alone

    So I’m coming over, I hope it’s alright

    Listen for me pulling into your drive

    Look out your window, you’ll see my lights

    Baby girl, I gotta see you tonight

    The way the breeze is blowing, blowing

    Got me wishing I was holding, holding

    Onto you so tight under that porch light

    Girl, I gotta see you tonight, tonight, tonight

    Girl, I gotta see you tonight, tonight, tonight

    I got a couple hundred pictures of your pretty face

    On my phone, on my dash, all over the place

    But I would drive a million miles

    Just to see that little smile

    In real life, baby, it’s worth the drive

    You’re worth the drive

    ...

    No, I don’t care what time it is

    I just gotta get a little moonlight kiss

    Girl, I can’t help it when I feel like this

    There’s only one thing to do

    Baby, I’m missing you

    ...

    Girl, I gotta see you tonight

    Background

    “American Idol” winner Scotty McCreery makes his songwriting debut on “See You Tonight,” a mid-tempo love song that finds the 19-year-old not settling for a phone call or some distant “I love you” from the girl who holds his heart. The singer sounds as if he’s telling his own story. The melody is playful, youthful without sounding too youthful. McCreery delivers the song ready to get the one thing he hasn’t yet had in his career, a top-10 radio airplay single.
