(mary chapin carpenter/john jennings)
I��m going out tonight to find myself a friend
i need a welcome smile and the grasp of a knowing hand
gonna sit for hours in a small dark place
catch up with a long lost face
and talk about how long it��s really been
I��m going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
i need to find someone to show me what i��ve missed
and when i see that someone sitting there
gonna tell your memory i don��t care
if he offers something more than just a kiss
Underneath the moon so bright
i wanna fall tonight
beneath a spell
underneath the sky so clear
i wanna find someone waiting there
who used to know me well
I��m going out tonight without a chaperone
i��m going to leave that meddling heart of mine at home
cause it don��t like crowds or closing time
neon blues or pick-up lines
it makes me spend my friday nights alone
Underneath the moon so bright
underneath the sky so clear
I��m going to tell myself that someone i adore
is the one i��m with ain��t that what friends are for
'cause my empty arms are open wide
i��m long on spite and short on pride
and the old way isn��t working anymore
i��m going out tonight to find myself a friend
