|
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend |
|
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of a knowing hand |
|
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place |
|
Catch up with a long lost face |
|
And talk about how long it's really been |
|
I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist |
|
I need to find someone to show me what i've missed |
|
And when i see that someone sitting there |
|
Gonna tell your memory i don't care |
|
If he offers something more than just a kiss |
|
Underneath the moon so bright |
|
I wanna fall tonight |
|
Beneath a spell |
|
Underneath the sky so clear |
|
I wanna find someone waiting there |
|
Who used to know me well |
|
I'm going out tonight without a chaperone |
|
I'm going to leave that meddling heart of mine at home |
|
Cause it don't like crowds or closing time |
|
Neon blues or pick-up lines |
|
It makes me spend my friday nights alone |
|
Underneath the moon so bright |
|
Underneath the sky so clear |
|
I'm going to tell myself that someone i adore |
|
Is the one i'm with ain't that what friends are for |
|
'cause my empty arms are open wide |
|
I'm long on spite and short on pride |
|
And the old way isn't working anymore |
|
I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend |
