lyrics

Last I pulled up in my car
And saw my clothes thrown all over the yard
And there she was, standing in the front door
She was screaming and crying and throwing a fit
And it looked like for hours, she was losing her shit
And I couldn't tell for what but I knew I couldn't take anymore

So I got back into my car,
Drove off and I left her there
Looked for somewhere else to go
Where I wouldn't have to put up with her

Cause I couldn't understand the game she was playing
But it seemed at this point, my decision was made
And there is only one thing that I know

Is tonight I'm not going home

So I went to the bar right by my house
To find myself a little bit of relief
And a woman walked in and sauntered over to the stool
Immediately next to me
She said that she's got a plan and all she needs is a man
To fulfill her every need
And that I looked like a fine candidate
To make her plan complete

I said "baby girl why you so upfront?"
She says "I only get like this when I'm fucked up"
And so I asked "What the hell are you on?"
She said "Nothing yet, but I'll get on whatever you want..."

Well, I couldn't understand the game she was playing
But it seemed at this point my decision was made
And there is only one thing that I know

Is tonight I'm not going home

Oh, what am I to do
When the loving part is through
Do I go find a little warmth
In another lover's arms

And I can't understand a thing that I'm thinking
But it seems at this point my decision is made
And there is only one thing that I know...
It's tonight I'm gonna leave my baby at home
And she can sleep there all alone
And there is only one thing that I know

Is tonight I'm not going home
