Girl, don't wait up tonight
Don't live on the lie
'Cause you'll be sleeping alone again
I know my intentions were the best
I had it all worked out you see
But you deserve a whole lot better than me.

You need a man whose heart
Is only one place in the night
Who'll stay right here
And just be satisfied
You need a man
Who won't disappoint you every time
I call and say my plans have changed
So don't wait up tonight.

Stop me now
I've gone and talked too much again
You know I do that now and then
So pay no attention to me
If I say your name a thousand times
Again and again
Just don't listen to me.

You need a man whose heart
Is only one place in the night
Who'll stay right here
And just be satisfied
You need a man
Who won't disappoint you every time
I call and say my plans have changed
So don't wait up tonight...
