From Can’t Hardly Wait (Music from the Motion Picture)1987

Lyrics

Can't Hardly Wait

[Verse 1] I'll write you a letter tomorrow Tonight, I can't hold a pen Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow I promise not to blow the address again [Chorus] Lights that flash in the evening Through a crack in the drapes [Verse 2] Jesus rides beside me He never buys any smokes Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff? Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes See you're high and lonesome Try, try and try [Chorus] Lights that flash in the evening Through a hole in the drapes I'll be home when I'm sleeping I can't hardly wait [Outro] I can't wait, hardly wait I can't wait, hardly wait I can't wait, hardly wait I can't wait, hardly wait I can't wait, hardly wait
