Lyric
I know it’s lateI know you’re wearyAnd I know your plans don’t include meStill, here we are, both of us lonelyLonging for shelter from all that we seeWhy should we worry? No one will care girlLook at the stars now, so far awayWe’ve got tonightWho needs tomorrow?We’ve got tonight, babeWhy don’t you stay?Deep in my soulI’ve been so lonelyAll of my hopes fading awayI’ve longed for loveLike everyone else doesI know I’ll keep searching after todaySo there it is girlWe’ve got it all nowAnd here we are, babeWhat do you say?We’ve got tonightWho needs tomorrow?We’ve got tonight, babeWhy don’t we stay?I know it’s late and I know you’re wearyI know your plans don’t include me (still here we are)Both of us lonelyBoth of us lonelyWe’ve got tonightWho needs tomorrow?Let’s make it lastLet’s find a wayTurn out the lightCome take my hand nowWe’ve got tonight, babeWhy don’t we stay?We’ve got tonight, babeWhy don’t we stay?
