It's 4AM, I don't know where to go
Everywhere is closed, I should just go home, yeah
My feet are takin' me to your front door
I know I shouldn't though, heaven only knows

That ooh, the side effect to my loneliness is you

Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight

This happens every time I try to mix
Decision makin' with one too many drinks

But, ooh, if late night friends have consequences, cool, yeah

Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight

Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line (yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line

Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
I, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight

Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line (yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went lookin' for a sign, but instead I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressin'
Draw the line, I'm by the line, yeah
