Ain't nothin' goin' on in town tonight
Except the loud party crowd drinkin' too much beer
So baby tell me would it be alright
If we just take a little rain check and stay right here
I'm sure we could find somethin' to do
As a matter of fact, baby why don't you

Grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine
Walk down the hall and turn down the lights
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair
And I can take it from there
Yeah, I can take it from there

I'm gonna put an old record on
Conway Twitty yeah girl I'd love to lay you down
Kill that ringer on your telephone
Ain't gonna stop lovin' you til the candle burns out
Oh there it is that little smile of yours
Come on baby whatcha waitin' for

Grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine
Walk down the hall and turn down the lights
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair
And I can take it from there

Tomorrow's gonna be here way too soon
Let's not waste another minute
Girl I've got plans for me and you

Just grab a couple glasses and that bottle of wine
Walk down the hall and darlin' turn down those lights
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair
And I can take it from there
I can take it from there
I can take it from there
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
