Rakes That's The Reason
It's late but I'm not finished yet
I'm stuck like a half smoked cigarette
between mates and the chances of something happenin'
she's in a group, she might be leaving soon
for a club or just a taxi home
I'd like to be in a taxi by her
take a chance, make my move
could be knocked back and they would all see
my mates and her's, it will be ugly
or maybe it'll work and this night would be
more than just jabber to my mates and me
she's just leaving holes in your memory
to a
instead I'll be under the sheets
with TV on and she would smell good
go to work, the world would be alright for once
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
There ain't no home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
there ain't no home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
There ain't no home tonight
Yeah I have to use your toothbrush
I know that you may not like that much
but stop for a second Freda while you touch
most girl's magazines blah blah blaaah
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(That's the reason)
Then you'd wake up
(that's the reason)
you were holding my hand
(that's the reason)
fall asleep again
(that's the reason)
big smile on my face
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the
reason)
I ain't going home tonight
