Get Your Shoes On

[Verse 1]

I still can't believe that you love me girl

I've always been an average guy

Never even been that sociable

I'd rather stay home and get some sleep with you

Just eat with you

We've got kids to feed and mysteries to solve

And hands to hold and calm and colds to cure

And there's only one thing I know for sure

[Chorus]

We need one night alone

Yes, just one night alone

I know it's only one night alone

But it'll be fabulous, fantastical and quite good

[Verse 2]

Has it really been 13 years?

Only unlucky for some

I doubt I could've been more into you

If cupid had a submachine gun

And I know and I know and I know and I know

Sometimes it's boring and tedious

Feels like the feeling is leaving us but

Hold on just a little bit longer

Stay with me and I know eventually we'll get

[Chorus]

One night alone

Yes, just one night alone

I know it's only one night alone

But it'll be fabulous, fantastical and quite good

[Verse 3]

Don't interrupt me while i'm speaking (wait)

Daddy got drunk on the weekend (yeah)

Tried to bust a move like MJ (fresh)

Still be paying for it in 10 days

Feeling uncomfortable like a futon

I just need my fucking kid to get her shoes on (come on)

I've asked her about 5 million times

And the 5 million rhymes is the minds and the grind grind

See, tiredness has got me rambling

Half the time I don't know what the hell is happening

I spend days just distractedly wrangling

Playdough mangling, trampoline trampling

And I swear that we could sleep for a decade

Just as soon as we get this double bed made

Still I know we're only heading for a headache

Four in the morning going off like a grenade

Still late night sipping on lemonade

Me and Mr. Attenborough, nature's renegade

Next doors cat's doing a moonlit serenade

Sometimes the hardest game we've ever played

Take a breath

(One night alone, one night alone

One night alone, one night alone)

[Chorus]

We need one night alone

Yes, just one night alone

I know it's only one night alone

But it'll be fabulous, fantastical and quite good
