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 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
