Ya I'll dance with you for a while

But I'm not going to take you home



I don't even know you last name

Let me explain



Been around the world a thousand times

Been swept away on distant shores

Bedded down with angels

Drank their wine

And always the conclusion is the same

Making love is always grand

But eventually

Love ends a losing game

So let's leave it alone

I'm going home



I'd rather sleep with myself tonight

Where no one else can harm me baby no

Oh Oh

Although I'm really quite fond of you

My best intentions never turn out right

I'd rather sleep with myself tonight



People think celibacy's a crime

Not saying I won't love again

But couldn't we just talk for a while

And lately intimacy's got me down

Been hurt so many times before

Jumped the gun and ended up alone

It may sound a little funny

But you gotta know



The information age

Things move so fast

Fax machines

Computer screens

Seems like love

Is something of the past

And modern girls

Got one thing in their head

Before you down your second drink

You're in the cab

And then you're in her bed

So let's hold off on the sex play

I don't even know your last name



I'd rather sleep with myself tonight

Where no one else can harm me baby no

Oh Oh

Although I'm really quite fond of you

My best intentions never turn out right

I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
