Why don’t you come over
For a little bit tonight?
It doesn’t even matter
How long is your drive?
Are you thinking of me
The way I wish you would?
Are you thinking of me
The way I know you could?
It’s 4 AM and I'm tired but I won’t go home
Listening to you talk, I could go all night long
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s wrong
And I know, and I know you got a girl at home
But I don’t mind that, so don’t mind that, ay
Why don’t you come over
For a little bit tonight?
It doesn’t even matter
How long is your drive?
Are you thinking of me
The way I wish you would?
Are you thinking of me
The way I know you could?
Why don’t you come over?
It’s only friendship we’ll risk
You can cry on my shoulder
If it’s her that you miss
Are you thinking of me
In a new light?
‘Cause if not we could pretend for the night, for the night
I know you think that it’s fun when you pull me in
But I can’t help but think that this is more than friends
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s wrong
And I know, and I know you got a girl at home
But I don’t mind that, so don’t mind that
Why don’t you come over
For a little bit tonight?
It doesn’t even matter
How long is your drive?
Are you thinking of me
The way I wish you would?
Are you thinking of me
The way I know you could?
Why don’t you come over?
It’s only friendship we’ll risk
You can cry on my shoulder
If it’s her that you miss
Are you thinking of me
In a new light?
‘Cause if not we can pretend for the night, for the night
And it’s her that’s in your head
But it’s you that’s in my bed
And I know that I can’t change your mind, but I can try
To convince you that I'm not that bad at all
I could be the one for you
If you only listen to me
One, two
So why don’t you come over (Why don’t you)
For a little bit tonight? (Why don’t you)
It doesn’t even matter
How long is your drive?
Are you thinking of me
The way I wish you would?
Are you thinking of me
The way I know you could?
Why don’t you come over? (Why don’t you)
It’s only friendship we’ll risk (Why don’t you)
You can cry on my shoulder
If it’s her that you miss
Are you thinking of me
In a new light?
‘Cause if not we can pretend for the night, for the night
And if not we can pretend for the night, for the night
And if not we can pretend for the night, for the night
And if not we can pretend for the night
Why don’t you come over
For a little bit tonight?
It doesn’t even matter
How long is your drive? (It’s not that long of a drive)
Are you thinking of me
The way I wish you would?
Are you thinking of me
The way I know you could?
