Verse Everybody seemed to have somebody better to talk to Everybody seemed to have something better to do And I was trying to look so mean and dangerous and ended up stepping on her toe And one minute she was a perfect stranger and the next thing she said was I thought you ought to know I don’t wanna go home Don’t get any ideas Things are going fine then they all disappeared You don’t have to make me any promises I can leave anytime I know Even though I don’t wanna go home Don’t get any ideas Things are going fine then they all disappeared You don’t have to make me any promises I can leave anytime I know Verse As I was drinking she was making her selection over in the corner Still thinking about the dancing perfection out on the floor I’d like to shake the hand of the man who started "slow dancing" time And curse the crazy fool who dreamed up "closing time" Even though I don’t wanna go home Don’t get any ideas Things are going fine then they all disappeared You don’t have to make me any promises I can leave anytime I know Even though I don’t wanna go home Don’t get any ideas Things are going fine then they all disappeared You don’t have to make me any promises I can leave anytime I know Even though I don’t wanna go home
