lyrics

It's four o'clock
The lights are on
Everybody's got a coat
And I've got none

You're standing there
You've been standing there an hour
Say it or go

Take me home or don't
Take me home or don't
I'm not gonna do the asking
Take me home or don't

I'm not shy
I'm not sweet
I'm just tired of being clever
On my feet

Take me home or don't
Take me home or don't
I'm not gonna do the asking
Take me home or don't

I'll be fine
I'm always fine
That's the problem with being fine
Nobody tries

Take me home or don't
Take me home or don't
I'm not gonna do the asking
Take me home or don't

(or don't)
