Going Out Tonight

[Verse] I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend I need a welcome smile and the grasp of a knowing hand Going to sit for hours in a small dark place Catch up with a long lost face And talk about how long it's really been I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist I need to find someone to show me what I've missed And when I see that someone sitting there Going to tell your memory, I don't care If he offers something more than just a kiss Underneath the moon so bright I want to fall tonight beneath a spell Underneath the sky so clear I want to find someone waiting there who used to know me well I'm going out tonight without a chaperone I'm going to leave that meddling heart of mine at home Because it don't like crowds or closing time Neon blues or pick-up lines It makes me spend my Friday nights alone Underneath the moon so bright Underneath the sky so clear I'm going to tell myself that someone I adore Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for Cause my empty arms are open wide I'm long on spite and short on pride And the old way isn't working anymore [Outro] I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
