not tonight

i’ve been in my own world

most of the day

turning a feeling

into something i made

you wanted me there

i said i can’t come

not tonight

not tonight

i’ve got something on

my mind

i’ll be fine

i’ll be fine

i just need a little time

you called me at lunchtime

i watched the phone ring

i knew if i answered

i’d lose everything

you wanted me there

i said i can’t come

not tonight

not tonight

i’ve got something on

my mind

i’ll be fine

i’ll be fine

i just need a little time

i hope when you see

it

you’ll understand

why i kept saying later

when you needed a friend

you wanted me there

i said i can’t come

(i can't come)

not tonight

not tonight

(not tonight) (ooh)
