What We're Taking Here Tonight
Bill Anderson · Billy Boy and Mary Lou (w. Mary Lou Turner) [MCA] [1977]
(Curly Putman - Sonny Throckmorton)
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.

She won't miss (and he won't miss)
What we're taking here tonight...
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)
