It's getting late  And we're both tired  Driving the awkward drive  Paying half attention as you're pointing the way  But our thoughts were racing double the time  You told me your stories  I told you mine  But there's so much we neglected to say  Driving back home  I had to turn right around  There was something i needed to ask you:    Why can't I just spend the night?  It's cold outside and there's   No place else I can go  And it feels so right  Why can't I just spend the night?  We'll keep our cloths on  And we'll leave on all the lights  Only if you like    Anticipation taking hold  Second thoughts will never get you the girl  Though it had occurred to me this might go bad  The obsession kept stuck to the plan  I ran up the steps  As my heart pumped fast  Then I knocked perhaps a bit to light  And she opened up the door  In only her coat  And a smile that said   'This better be worth it'    Why can't I just spend the night?  It's cold outside and there's   No place else I can go  And it feels so right  Why can't I just spend the night?  We'll keep our cloths on  And we'll leave on all the lights  Only if you like    [pause and repeat chorus until fade]
