Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight
Tom Jones · Kiss [1996]
There's a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Who'll take you where the sidewalk ends
And it's a sad affair
You reach out but no one's there
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight, baby
You couldn't see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street
So who's gonna hear your prayer
Look around there's no one there
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight
He'll tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall
I guess it's in your blood
One love just ain't enough, no no no
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
I guess I'll be that stranger
Whose taking you home tonight
Hey baby, I'm taking you home tonight
Taking you home tonight
Oh baby, I'm taking you home tonight
Taking you home tonight
