<poem> | |||
Love pull your sore ribs in | |||
I will pull your tangles out | |||
In the back of your car I feel like | |||
I have traveled nowhere | |||
What will bring me home? | |||
What will make me stay, stay? | |||
What will bring me home? | |||
What will make me stay, stay? | |||
Well, I don't know | |||
I don't know, ooh | |||
I don't know | |||
I don't know, ooh | |||
Everything in my body says, "Not tonight" | |||
Everything in my body says, "No" | |||
Everything in my body says, "Not tonight" | |||
Everything in my body says, "No" | |||
What will bring me home? | |||
What will make me stay, stay? | |||
What will bring me home? | |||
What will make me stay, stay? | |||
Well, I don't know | |||
I don't know, ooh | |||
I don't know | |||
I don't know, ooh</poem> | |||
