hi jt. Welcome to Taxi. I could tell right away that you're a novice here. "Shinnin' and "Dinnin" I would assume are typos (should be shinin' and dinin'). Putting "let's sleep the night away" and "let's dance the night away" in the same chorus is going two differrent ways and I don't think you want to do that. Try to find other ways of saying "I need you" I quickly got tired of reading those words. Who are they in "they say"? The song seems to be emotionally adolescent - which would limit your market to teenage artists if you edit the lyric and put it to music.Technically your verses are in need of some rhyme pattern. Your bridge is good. In v2 you're "being here with you tonight" then you're 'sitting here lonely with no you around". Do you see the problem? Try to focus on what you want to get across and edit your lines as needed. Best wishes.

The theme is definitely universal and easy to relate to it. But I'd say it needs more details, something to make it unique, a hook. It might help if you think of a song as a movie.Nomi

I'll be the next "Simon" to say this is pretty generic. Is this something that happened to you? Putting a personal touch to it will make it unique. We've all been through what you write. What have you learned from it that perhaps the rest of us could gain from? Also a title that doesn't say "Ooooh, baby I Love You" or in that genre will help when it's finished. Don't forget....a little mystery and unfinished closing will leave those that listen imposing it onto their own experiences. Then it gets personal.
