The Cars – Not Tonight lyrics
I don't know what that cologne is
But it's working like a charm
It's easy to imagine
Walking you on my arm... On my arm
I wanna show you around the sights
But not tonight

I like the outfit you're wearing
I like the way that you think
I'd like to call us a cab and take you out for a drink
Wait Wait
I wanna take you for a little bite
But not tonight

No No

I'd like to have a chance to treat you right
But not tonight

I could squeeze you in
But my dance card is full
Still I might change plans
If you give a little (Ahh) Just a little pull

I hear you have a reputation
They say you like to move fast
They say that you don't give a damn
About the price of your gas (That's a gas)
So we can drive until the early light
But not tonight

No No... I think I have a chance to treat you right
But not tonight

I could make some calls
Move things around
And cancel stuff
But your a long long road
I must go down
One night is not enough

I could squeeze you in
But my dance card is full
Still I might change plans
If you give a little (Ahh) a little... Give a little more

So put me in your Blackberry
And I'll take your E-mail
And we'll meet when the time is right
But not tonight

We're gonna drive till the early light
But not tonight

No not tonight

We're gonna raise a glass
But not tonight

We're gonna burn up gas

But not tonight

We're gonna dine and dance

But not tonight

We're gonna take the chance
But not tonight

We're gonna scandalize
But not tonight

We're gonna see the sunrise
But not tonight

We're gonna drive till the early light
But not tonight... No not tonight

(Not tonight)
