On my way downtown
I'm heading towards the city center
I thought you might be around
I had a feeling that you might be nearby
Well come on out tonight
Please join me tonight
Come on out tonight
I really want to see you tonight
I know the last time we drank
I remember the last time we had drinks
I was a little less than behaved
I wasn't on my best behavior
Well come on out tonight
Please let me make it up to you tonight
Ill be good tonight
I promise to behave myself tonight
