You sit alone
On the sofa at home
While you sip on that whiskey you like
Cause it’s Friday night and
I’m in the bathroom
And I’ve got to leave soon
Cause it’s Friday night the

Car is outside and the drivers calling
Waiting on me but I’m waiting on ya
Why am I waiting on ya

Chorus :
I’ve got a party
I don’t wanna go
i miss your body
Wanna feel you close
It feels like we forgot how to love
Standing here and I’m all dressed up
I’ve got a party
Tell me not to go
Let’s just stay at home
Verse:
I still remember
That night in September
I got drunk and locked you outside
And we can’t go back i
Sat in the bathtub
And screamed that i don’t love you
I think that i lost my mind
And we can’t go back now

Waiting on me but I’m waiting on ya

When did you become a stranger stranger
I don’t wanna see you later later
