They washed my windows
And then ripped the forest right out before my eyes
I was in the window barely dressed amazed myself had to decide
Leave the left one and some scruff along the fence
I screamed through the glass
Can you believe this but no one was there to hear me gasp
You don’t want to know what happens
When I start to follow you around
You don’t want to see what happens
When I befriend everyone you’ve ever known
So give it up now it’s a hot minute that lasts a lifetime
I’m not asking for forever I’m just asking for tonight
I canceled dinner. I was starving alone
But I just didn’t want to cook
I stole a car and drove around behind you
Giving you my saddest look
Through our open windows I explained to you why I was there
And you pulled right over
To the side of the road to tell me you didn’t care
You don’t want to know what happens
When I start to follow you around
You don’t want to see what happens
When I befriend everyone you’ve ever known
So give it up now it’s a hot minute that lasts a lifetime
I’m not asking for forever I’m just asking for tonight
I’m just asking for tonight
I want my love to last a lifetime. Do you?
With those eyes and that smile I’m sure you do
[x4]
You don’t want to know what happens
When I start to follow you around
You don’t want to see what happens
When I befriend everyone you’ve ever known
So give it up now it’s a hot minute that lasts a lifetime
I’m not asking for forever I’m just asking for tonight
Give it up now (give it up now) it’s a hot minute that lasts a lifetime
I’m not asking for forever I’m just asking for tonight
I’m just asking for tonight
I’m just asking for
So give it up now it’s a hot minute that lasts a lifetime
I’m not asking for forever I’m just asking for tonight
And then ripped the forest right out before my eyes
I was in the window barely dressed amazed myself had to decide
Leave the left one and some scruff along the fence

You don’t want to see what happens
