I'm goin' out tonight
to find myself a friend
I need a welcome smile
And the grasp of
a knowin' hand
Gonna sit for hours
in a small dark place
Catch up with a long lost face
And talk about
how long it's really been
I'm goin' out tonight
with perfume on my wrist
I need to find someone
to show me what I've missed
And when I see
that someone sittin' there
Gonna tell your memory
I don't care
If he offers somethin' more
than just a kiss
Underneath the moon
so bright
I wanna fall tonight
beneath a spell
Underneath the sky so clear
I wanna find someone
waitin' there
Who used to know me well
I'm goin' out tonight
without a chaperone
I'm goin' to leave that meddlin'
heart of mine at home
'Cause it don't like crowds
or closin' time
Neon blues or pick-up lines
It makes me spend
my Friday nights alone
Underneath the moon
so bright
Underneath the sky so clear
I'm goin' to tell myself
that someone I adore
Is the one I'm with
Ain't that what friends are for
'Cause my empty arms
are open wide
I'm long on spite
And short on pride
And the old way
isn't workin' anymore
I'm goin' out tonight
to find myself a friend
