Ya I'll dance with you for a while 
But I'm not going to take you home 

I don't even know you last name 
Let me explain 

Been around the world a thousand times 
Been swept away on distant shores 
Bedded down with angels 
Drank their wine 
And always the conclusion is the same 
Making love is always grand 
But eventually 
Love ends a losing game 
So let's leave it alone 
I'm going home 

I'd rather sleep with myself tonight 
Where no one else can harm me baby no 
Oh Oh 
Although I'm really quite fond of you 
My best intentions never turn out right 
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight 

People think celibacy's a crime 
Not saying I won't love again 
But couldn't we just talk for a while 
And lately intimacy's got me down 
Been hurt so many times before 
Jumped the gun and ended up alone 
It may sound a little funny 
But you gotta know 

The information age 
Things move so fast 
Fax machines 
Computer screens 
Seems like love 
Is something of the past 
And modern girls 
Got one thing in their head 
Before you down your second drink 
You're in the cab 
And then you're in her bed 
So let's hold off on the sex play 
I don't even know your last name 

I'd rather sleep with myself tonight 
Where no one else can harm me baby no 
Oh Oh 
Although I'm really quite fond of you 
My best intentions never turn out right 
I'd rather sleep with myself tonight
