| It’s getting late
|
| And we’re both tired
|
| Driving the awkward drive
|
| Paying half attention as you’re pointing the way
|
| But our thoughts were racing double the time
|
| You told me your stories
|
| I told you mine
|
| But there’s so much we neglected to say
|
| Driving back home
|
| I had to turn right around
|
| There was something i needed to ask you:
|
| Why can’t I just spend the night?
|
| It’s cold outside and there’s
|
| No place else I can go And it feels so right
|
| Why can’t I just spend the night?
|
| We’ll keep our cloths on And we’ll leave on all the lights
|
| Only if you like
|
| Anticipation taking hold
|
| Second thoughts will never get you the girl
|
| Though it had occurred to me this might go bad
|
| The obsession kept stuck to the plan
|
| I ran up the steps
|
| As my heart pumped fast
|
| Then I knocked perhaps a bit to light
|
| And she opened up the door
|
| In only her coat
|
| And a smile that said
|
| 'This better be worth it'
|
| Why can’t I just spend the night?
|
| It’s cold outside and there’s
|
| No place else I can go And it feels so right
|
| Why can’t I just spend the night?
|
| We’ll keep our cloths on And we’ll leave on all the lights
|
| Only if you like |
