Jane Brock: Music
Not Tonight
(Jane Brock)
Tonight I won't be staying home alone
I won't spend lonely hours on the phone
Won't leave a note for neighbors where I've gone
Won't need to leave an outside light turned on
("What's he waiting for,
when's he gonna walk back through your door?")
I won't stare out the window at the stars,
I won't be sad and wonder where you are
Tonight I'll make some magic of my own
Because tonight you're coming home sweet home
And I'll forget those might-have-been's and used-to-be's
'Cause there'll be no more miles between you and me
And there'll be no pretending everything's alright
Some other time I might
But not tonight
I won't need to think of all those sad love songs
("Don't you remember how long he is always gone?")
Won't think about my rights and all your wrongs
("He needs to be with at home where he belongs!")
I won't mope around and nurse my slighted heart
("He made a promise to do his part...")
Because tonight's the night to start forgettin' 'bout
All those might-have-been's and used-to-be's
'Cause there'll be no more miles between you and me
And there'll be no pretending everything's alright
Some other time I might,
But not tonight...
..when I've been waiting so long to be with you
I've been fighting the doubts that scorn this love so true
Yeah, I've got expectations so unmet
Yet sometimes it's best to just forget about
All those might-have-been's and used-to-be's
'Cause there'll be no more miles between you and me
And there'll be no pretending everything's alright
Some other time I might
Some other time I might
Some other time I might
But not tonight.
...Baby, come on home to me
I'm waitin' here, can't you see?
Oh, there you are
Gettin' outta your car
Tell me, where have you been?
Come one, I will let you in....
