Not Tonight (Edited Version) Lyrics

I'm a night stone dreamer and I never felt like this before,
When she stares at the sky and her eyes fall to the floor,
When she gives me a little and always leaves me wanting more,
She's a wildcat prowling; she's a leopard without a claw.

I'm a fool in this scene, and I think I really like it this way,
She's a star, she's a dream, she's the sun that brightens the day,
She's a drug, sex machine; she's a goddess to whom I pray,
I'm the rich, I'm the poor, and I guess there's nothing left to say.

Well, she held me close and I held her so tight,
And we sat and we talked all the way through the night,
And we joked and we sang until we saw the morning light,
â??Come here,â? she said, â??and love me.â? Oh, not tonight.

I'm a streetwise gambler and I'll never feel like this again,
She's all-that, where it's at and all she wants to know is when
We can kiss, make it last, have a drink, have a smoke and then,
I can look her in the eyes and she can fantasise about other men.

I'm a joke, I'm a freak, I'm a game she's longing to play,
I'm a terminal April Fool who can last right into May,
She closes her eyes and waits for me to take her away,
Just for tonight, I'm in love, but you know, I think tomorrow I'll pay.

Well, she took my hand and led me into the night,
I felt her close and everything felt alright,
She looked me in the eye, and whispered to my delight,
â??Come here,â? she said, â??and love me.â? Oh, not tonight.

I'm a rat, I'm a mole, and I'm a goldfish in a poisonous tank,
She's a trick, she's magic, she's a jape, she's a joke, she's a prank,
She's a girl with a dream; she's a thief with the key to the bank,
She stole the scene then came clean, when she looked at me my heart just sank.

Well, she attacked my soul and I didn't put up a fight,
She looked like an angel laying there in the moonlight,
Then she pulled me close, looked me up and down, left and right,
â??Come here,â? she said, â??and love me.â? Oh, not tonight.
â??Come here,â? she said, and I said, â??not tonight.â?
â??Come here,â? she begged, â??I need someone tonight...â?
Oh, not tonight.
Oh, not tonight.
Oh, not tonight.
Oh, not tonight.
