Lyrics
What We're Taking Here Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She won't miss (and he won't miss)
What we're taking here tonight
You can't call it stealing when it's been thrown away
Unwanted love left lying will bloom again some day
We found each other lonely baby
Don't that make it right
She won't miss (and he won't miss)
What we're taking here tonight
I only want the part of you that's cold from her neglect
I'll warm the spot inside your arms he carelessly rejects
We both need the sunshine baby
To brighten up our lives
She won't miss (and he won't miss)
[ Both ]
What we're taking here tonight
[ steel ]
She won't miss (and he won't miss)
What we're taking here tonight
