Lyrics
I'm taking you home tonight
I wanna make sure that you're alright
Looks like a cold, cold wind is blowing in
I'm takin' you home tonight
We're like a train that's left the tracks
The world is falling apart
I'd kindly help to put it back
But tell me where to start
I'm taking you home tonight
(Ooh)
I wanna make sure that you're alright
Well, the coat you're wearin's way too thin
I'm takin' you home tonight
I read the bad news every day
It's getting harder to cry
Sometimes I'd like to look away
But I can't close my eyes
I'm taking you home tonight
(Yeah!)
I wanna make sure that you're alright
Whilst I notify my next of kin
I'm taking you home tonight
Say yes tonight
(Yes, yes, yes)
Say yes if my suggestion is right
Say yes to me
(Yes, yes, yes)
And that's the way you want it to be
Oh, I'm takin' you home tonight
(Yeah!)
I wanna make sure that you're alright
Looks like a cold, cold wind is blowing in
I'm takin' you home tonight
Well, life goes by at such a pace
And troubles seem to increase
I know that we can find a place
Where we can get some peace
I'm takin' you home tonight
(Huh)
I wanna make sure that you're alright
Looks like a cold, cold wind is blowing in
I'm takin' you home tonight
So say yes tonight
(Yes, yes, yes)
Say yes if my suggestion is right
Say yes to me
(Yes, yes, yes)
And that's the way you want it to be
Well, I'm takin' you home tonight
(Home)
I wanna make sure that you're alright
They say a cold, cold wind is blowing in
The coat you're wearing's way too thin
And notify my next of kin
I'm takin' you home tonight
