I Don't Want To Go Home

Lyrics

Everybody seemed to have somebody better to talk to

Everybody seemed to have something better to do

And I was trying to look so mean and dangerous and ended up stepping on her toe

And one minute she was a perfect stranger and the next thing she said was

I thought you ought to know

I don't wanna go home

Don't get any ideas

Things are going fine, then they all disappeared

You don't have to make me any promises

I can leave anytime I know

Even though I don't wanna go home

Don't get any ideas

Things are going fine, then they all disappeared

You don't have to make me any promises

I can leave anytime I know

As I was drinking she was making her selection over in the corner

Still thinking about the dancing perfection out on the floor

I'd like to shake the hand of the man who started "slow dancing" time

And curse the crazy fool who dreamed up "closing time"

Even though I don't wanna go home

Don't get any ideas

Things are going fine, then they all disappeared

You don't have to make me any promises

I can leave anytime I know

Even though I don't wanna go home

Don't get any ideas

Things are going fine, then they all disappeared

You don't have to make me any promises

I can leave anytime I know

Even though I don't wanna go home
