Every night I just want to go out
Get out of my head
Every day I don't want to get up
Get out of my bed
Every night I want to play out
And every day I want to do ooh ooh oh oh
But tonight I just want to stay in
And be with you
And be with you

Ooh, oohoo, ooh
Ooh, oohoo, ooh

Every day I lean on a lamp post
I'm wasting my time
Every night I lay on a pillow
I'm resting my mind
Every morning brings a new day
Every night that day is through
Ooh ooh oh oh
But tonight I just want to stay in
And be with you, ooh
And be with you

Ooh, oohoo, ooh
Believe me mama ooh, oohoo, ooh
Ooh, oohoo, oh
