I Wonder If I Take You Home
Stefanie Bennett Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I know you're wondering
Why I won't go over to your place
'Cause I'm not too sure about how you feel
So I'd rather go at my own pace

And I know that you know
That if we get together baby
Emotions will go to work

And I may do something
I might regret the next day
And end up hurt

Oh I don't know
The way that I feel
Afraid of a one night deal
And now

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight

Lately you've been expressing to me
Just how much you want to make love
I want it just as much as you do
But will you still keep in touch baby?

You say I'm teasing but ought to have a reason
Don't let your feelings fade
'Cause you will have me
And sooner than you know it
If you could only wait

Oh I don't know
The way that I feel
Afraid of a one night deal
And now

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight

Home
Home
Home
Ho-ho-home

Oh I don't know
The way that I feel
Afraid of a one night deal
And now

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
I wonder if I take you home

Would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight

Baby, I know you're wondering
I know you're curious

Why I won't go over to your place
Why I'm not willing to come over

'Cause I'm not too sure about how you feel
Because I'm uncertain about your feelings

And I might do something
