Take Me Home Tonight
Every Avenue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a hunger

It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night.
Are you the answer?
I shouldn't wonder when I feel you whet my appetite

With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets a
Anticipation is running through me

Let's find the key and turn this engine on.

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster.
Take me home tonight!
I don't want to let you go till you see the light!
Take me home tonight!
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang: Be my little baby!

I get frightened in all this darkness

I get nightmares
I hate to sleep alone
I need some company

A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold winds blow!

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster
Be my little baby!

Just like Ronnie sang
I say
Just like Ronnie sang:
Be my little baby
Baby
My darling!
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger!

Take me home tonight!




Take me home tonight!
Take me home tonight!

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang

I feel a hunger, it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer? I shouldn't wonder
When I feel you wet my appetite

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, 'Be my little baby', oh

I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares, I hate to sleep alone
I need some company, a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go until you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, 'Be my little baby'

For all those who don't know whose is signing "Be My Little Baby" part is Juliet Simms she was the lead singer of the Alternative Rock band called Automatic Loveletter. They disbanded in 2012 or 2013 IDK really exactly but they aren't active anymore they broke up so Juliet could pursue a solo career which she is doing. She was also the second winner of the NBC show The Voice. She is married to Andy Biersack a.k.a. Andy Black the lead vocalist of the band Black Veil Brides. She covered this song with Every Avenue and sings the parts of the song that originally were sung by Ronnie Spector of all-female girl group back in the 50s and 60s called the Ronettes. The part is actually taking from their hit song called "Be My Little Baby".

At first, I was wondering why this band sounded familiar but I read the comments and they sung my favorite song years ago. Now I love this cover more now.

@decayingredglassheart8790
