all the other girls here are starsyou are the Northern Lights
they try to shine in through your curtainsyoure too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
Ill be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
this party was made with the night air and the chance that a smile
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
you act like youre hip to their tricks and youre strong
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
Ill be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
and Ill have you back by break of day
Im going your way anyway
and if youd like to come along
Ill be yours for a song
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
but Im here and Im ready and Ive saved you the passenger seat
I wont be your last dance just your last goodnight
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
Ill be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
and Ill coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
and the next time we meeta new kind of hello
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
