I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight

Toby Keith · Greatest Hits 2 [2004]

Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.

That would be too demanding.

I'm just talkin bout two lonely people

who might reach a little understanding.

I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven

with whether we're wrong or we're right.

I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.

I'm just talkin bout tonight.



You were sitting on your bar stool

talking to some fool who

didn't have a clue.

I guess he couldn't see

you were looking right at me

cause I was looking at you too.

Then it's "do you wanna dance",

"have we ever met"

You said "hold your horses boy

I ain't that easy to get"



Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.

That would be too demanding.

I'm just talkin bout two lonely people

who might reach a little understanding.

I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven

with whether we're wrong or we're right.

I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.

I'm just talkin bout tonight.



She said "I only take it slow.

By now you oughta know

that I ain't digging this.

If we can start as friends

the weekend just might end

with a little kiss."

She said "I'm a lady looking

for a man in my life

who will make a good husband.

I'll make a good wife."

Heeheeeasy now.



Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.

That would be too demanding.

I'm just talkin bout two lonely people

who might reach a little understanding.

I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven

with whether we're wrong or we're right.

See, I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.

I'm just talkin bout tonight.



Yeah, I'm just talkin bout a little bit later tonight.
