Tonight
Nobodys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I guess you think I'm stupid
Well I guess you might just be right
But if you ain't got nothing to do
Will you go out with me tonight?

I will take you out to a movie
We could go to Burger King
I will buy myself a waffle
And I will buy you anything

We could sit out in the parking lot
We could listen to the radio
We could sit and stare into the stars all night
Just looking for a UFO
Let's go!

Well I guess you think I'm stupid
Well I guess you might just be right
But if you ain't got nothing to do
Will you go out with me tonight?




Will you go out with me tonight?
Will you go out with me tonight?

Sittin' here
It's closing time
You've got your troubles and I bet they're just like mine
Somebody told you goodbye
But I know a way that can't go wrong
Nobody leads nobody on
And nobody's lonely tonight
What's love but just some illusion we believe
What's love but just some confusion we don't need
What's love but just some illusion we believe
What's love but just some confusion we don't need
You be her
And I'll be him
For a while we'll pretend
Nobody's lonely tonight

Sittin' here

You've got your troubles and I bet they're just like mine
Somebody told you goodbye
But I know a way that can't go wrong
Nobody leads nobody on
And nobody's lonely tonight
What's love but just some illusion we believe
What's love but just some confusion we don't need
What's love but just some…

The Love of real music knows no color barriers, this man’s music helped me through some dark times in my life. I’m a 40 yo black male and fell in love with his crisp, rasp, folk tellin heartbeat of a voice IMMEDIATELY! I was a musician back in the day and not a day goes by that I don’t question me walking away. Thank you Mr. Chris Stapleton for all you do to maintain that “Truth” 💯🙏🏽☮️✌🏾
