[Verse 1]
You left me standin' in the pouring rain
But I don't even know your name
Now all I've got is memories
I think of how it used to be
Your head upon my pillow case
I still can't quite recall your face
The filter of a cigarette
Reminds me of a sweet regret
[Pre-Chorus]
And only the memory of you
Keeps my heart still alive, it will survive
And only the memory of you
Keeps me wonderin' if I might see you again tonight
[Chorus]
Let's go out tonight
Take me where it's shiny and bright
Somewhere we can do what we like
Baby, it'll be alright
I said let's go out tonight
Get drunk and maybe get in a fight
Maybe one day I'll get a life
You never know what you're gonna find
[Verse 2]
I try to call you on the telephone
I get a disconnected tone
I'm sure I wrote it down that night
Perhaps I didn't hear you right
Now all I've got's an empty pain
And just another linen stain
You got me down upon my knees
Is this the way it has to be?
[Pre-Chorus]
And only the memory of you
Keeps my heart still alive, it will survive
And only the memory of you
Keeps me wonderin' if I might see you again tonight
[Chorus]
Let's go out tonight
Take me where it's shiny and bright
Somewhere we can do what we like
Baby, it'll be alright
I said let's go out tonight
Get drunk and maybe get in a fight
Come on, it'll be outta sight
Until then you can give me a light
[Outro]
Let's go out tonight
Unloneliness can be so kind
I think I could be losing my mind
And let me tell it to you one more time
I said let's go out tonight
And baby, it'll be alright
And everything's gonna be fine
I'll make it just like when you were mine
