Tryna fix that broken-heart heartbreak on your own
I bet it's been a little while since you let yourself have some fun
Well, baby, you don't need no permission
But if you need a reason, I could be the one
We can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number
For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
For a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright), alright
I got a mix that I made for the weekend on the stereo
I got a black leather jacket and a red dress ready to go
The only thing missin' is you knock-knock-knockin' on my door
Well, you don't need a map, you know where I'm at
So tell me, baby, what you're waitin' for
We can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Turnin' the neon into morning light
Why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number
For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
Yeah, for a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright), alright
(We could go downtown) we can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Turnin' the neon (turnin' the neon) into morning light
So why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number
For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
Yeah, for a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright)
For a good time, call me
Baby, call me
Baby, call me
Yeah, baby, what you waitin' for tonight?
