The Pretty Reckless – Just Tonight Lyrics

Rock

Here we are
And I can't think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home
Here we are
And you're too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight

Here I am
And I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now
And here I am
Watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight
Just tonight

Do you understand who I am?
Do you wanna know?
Can you really see through me?
Now I have got to go

Just tonight, I won't leave
And I'll lie and you'll believe
Just tonight, I will see
That it's all because of me

Just tonight, I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
Then it's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)
It's all because of you
Just tonight (do you understand who I am?)
It's all because of you
Just tonight

About This Song
