Baby, I know what time it is
And I'm sorry to call you this late
But I've been lying all alone thinking of you
And what I have to say just can't wait
You say you're worried
And we shouldn't hurry
And we should put our love on the shelf
Well, I say that you're using
Some very old excuses
'Cause you're not too sure of yourself
I just want us to be
Alone for just one night
And you can leave anytime
Anytime you feel is right
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
And not for only one night
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
'Cause I'm convinced that it's right
It's true that I've been saying
That I wanna make love to you
And I know you're not a plaything
'Cause you're the only one I wanna make love to
You say you're certain
That you'll end up hurtin'
If you give me your love too fast
True love isn't like that
I think what really matters
Is how long love will last
Well, I just want us to be
Alone for just one night
And you can leave anytime
Anytime you feel is right
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
And not for only one night
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
'Cause I'm convinced that it's right
Promise if I take you home
(Let me take you home)
Still be in love, babe
Oh, girl, I don't wanna be alone
Promise if I take you home
Still be in love, babe
Oh, baby, won't you let me take you home?
You know, you keep saying
You're afraid to come over to my house
It sounds to me like you just don't trust yourself
(Maybe it's you I don't trust)
Well, you know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you
It's not like we just met, you know
(Yeah, I know, but)
Besides, how do you know
What we'll wind up doing anyway?
(Well, that depends on what you have in mind)
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
And not for only one night
I promise if I take you home
I'll still be in love, babe
'Cause I'm convinced that it's right
Promise if I take you home
(Let me take you home)
Still be in love, babe
Oh, girl, and I don't wanna be alone
Promise if I take you home
Still be in love, babe
Oh, baby, won't you let me take you home?
