well it's late
and about time to go home
driving into the night
some of us all alone
it gives us time to think
about the drag of daily life
and you know how happy we should be
together tonight

don't make me go home
don't make me go home
don't make me go home
don't make me go home

everybody has gone home
now we're all on our own
bottles empty ashtrays full
to send me home would be so cruel
you know my heart is aching
cause for me there's no one waiting
help me make it through the night
oh let me stay by your side

yeah
don't make me go home
don't make me go home - don't make me, don't make me
don't make me go home
don't make me go home

yeah
don't make me go home - don't make me, don't make me
don't make me go home - I don't wanna go
don't make me go home
don't make me go home
