Everybody knows you came with him but another girl caught his eye-ee-eye (i'll take you home)
now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by (i'll take you home)
and i know you're wondering what you'll do if he doesn't come back to you
but, don't worry, i'll take you home so, little girl, don't you be blue
Now i know that you wore that pretty red dress just for him to see (i'll take you home)
mm-mm-yeah
but i wanna tell ya that red dress looks good to me (i'll take you home)
whoa, i know you feel like you wanna die but try pretending that i'm your guy
and don't worry, i'll take you home so, little girl, now don't you cry
i'll take you home when the dance is over
