We had a good time
Nearly losing our minds
Man, we had some fun
It was good to see you and get to know everyone
Man, it was a good hang,
smoke and beer and champagne
But now I got to run
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I hope you keep movin'
I hope you keep groovin' all night
I hope you tear the roof off
'Til you see the morning light
You know i'd love to be there
The invitation is so nice
But not tonight, not tonight
Not tonight
I gotta get back home
My baby's waiting and it's been so long
The bowl is empty
and the candy's all gone
So, not tonight
I gotta bring some sugar home yeah
You see I believe
That you reap what you sow
You plant your garden and
you let your love grow
when I'm with my baby
That's how my baby knows
Our love is tight
We're all right yeah
So, not tonight
I gotta get back home
My baby's waiting and it's been so long
The bowl is empty and the candy's all gone
So, not tonight
I gotta bring some sugar home Yeah
C'mon, sweet Pea
Oh, my sweet friends
Speak true, be strong
Keep on believing we are where we belong
You know I'd love to sing you just one more song
But not tonight, not tonight no
No, no, no, no not tonight
I gotta get back home yeah
My baby's waiting for me and it's been so,
It's been so long
The bowl is empty and the candy's all gone yeah
Not tonight
I got to bring some sugar home Yeah
Not tonight
I got to get back home
My baby's waiting and it's been so long yeah yeah
The bowl is empty
and the candy's all gone
Not tonight
I gotta bring some sugar home yeah
