Everybody knows you came with him but another girl caught his eye-ee-eye (I`ll take you home)
Now you`re sitting there all alone watching them dance by (I`ll take you home)
And I know you`re wondering what you`ll do if he doesn`t come back to you
But, don`t worry, I`ll take you home so, little girl, don`t you be blue

Now I know that you wore that pretty red dress just for him to see (I`ll take you home)
Mm-mm-yeah
But I wanna tell ya that red dress looks good to me (I`ll take you home)
Whoa, I know you feel like you wanna die but try pretending that I`m your guy
And don`t worry, I`ll take you home so, little girl, now don`t you cry

I`ll take you home when the dance is over
I`ll take you home, just wait and see
You`re gonna dance the last dance with me

Let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I`ll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
`cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I`ll take you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn`t true, she`s the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I`ll take you home `cause little girl, I`m lonely, too

Ohhhhhhh, let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I`ll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
`cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I`ll take you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn`t true, she`s the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I`ll take you home `cause, little girl, I`m lonely, too

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I`ll take you home `cause, little girl, I`m lonely, too
Mm-mm, mm-mm, yeah
FADE
I`ll take you home `cause, little girl, I`m lonely, too
