Take Me Home Tonight
Every Avenue Feat. Juliet Simms from Automatic Loveletter 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!
