I never thought you'd pick up the phone It's Friday night you should be out on the town Didn't think you'd be sitting at home all alone like me Nothing on TV, nothing to do Nothing to keep my mind off you and me And the way it was Are you thinking 'bout it now because I could be there in five One more one last time We don't have to be lonely tonight Need you, want you, I'm right here We don't have to be lonely tonight I know we shouldn't, but I don't care I don't wanna be right, I don't wanna be strong I just wanna hold you till the heart breaks stone When the sun comes up, we can both move on But we don't have to be lonely tonight That taste, that touch, the fire I miss Those kiss me eyes, your red wine lips, oh my I can use to be, baby I want you, and you want me We don't have to be lonely tonight Need you, want you, I'm right here We don't have to be lonely tonight I know we shouldn't, but I don't care I don't wanna be right, I don't wanna be strong I just wanna hold you till the heart breaks stone When the sun comes up, we can both move on But we don't have to be lonely tonight I can be there in five One more one last time We don't have to be lonely tonight Need you, I'm right here We don't have to be lonely tonight Tonight, tonight, yeah yeah
