Going Out Tonight

Lyrics

I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
 I need a welcome smile and the grasp of a knowing hand
 Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place
 Catch up with a long lost face
 And talk about how long it's really been
 I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
 I need to find someone to show me what I've missed
 And when I see that someone's sitting there
 Gonna tell your memory I don't care
 If he offers something more than just a kiss
 
 Underneath the moon so bright
 I wanna fall tonight
 Beneath a spell
 Underneath the sky so clear
 I wanna find someone waiting there
 Who used to know me well
 I'm going out tonight without a chaperone
 I'm going to leave that meddling heart of mine at home
 'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time
 Neon blues or pick-up lines
 It makes me spend my Friday nights alone
 
 Underneath the moon so bright
 ♪
 Underneath the sky so clear
 ♪
 I'm going to tell myself that someone I adore
 Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for
 'Cause my empty arms are open wide
 I'm long on spite and short on pride
 And the old way isn't working anymore
 I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
