Lyrics
(VERSE)
Well I remember the night that you came to town,
when you moved next door, it turned me upside down,
and I couldn?t believe with my very own eyes,
there was a girl like you who was really alive.
So I went next door I had to say hello,
but all I got was your dad and he told me to go,
so I went back home to my lonely room,
I laid awake all night dreaming only of you.
(CHORUS)
And I?m waitin? by your window and your door and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
I ain?t gonna ask you anymore and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
(VERSE)
So the very next day you know I tried again,
but all I got was your mom, she stood there and grinned,
and she told me very nice that you wouldn?t be home,
not tonight?not tomorrow?just leave her alone.
So I went back home to my lonely room,
I was there all night thinking what to do,
I was a rockin? and a rollin? and a reelin? my brain,
if I thought any longer I would go insane.
(CHORUS)
And I?m waitin? by your window and your door and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
I ain?t gonna ask you anymore and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
Cont?
(BRIDGE)
You know I?ll wait all night if it takes,
they?re never gonna take me alive?
I?ve been in the bushes for an hour or so,
what a way to spend the night?
Can?t you hear my desperate pleas,
listen in the still of the night?
I?ll do anything that you want me to do,
just show me you know I?m alive!
(VERSE)
So will you please come out and talk to me,
I?ve been out here all night and about to freeze!
If you give me a chance then I know that you?ll find,
that I?m not a bad looker and a real nice guy!
Well I?m getting? pretty sick of the whole damn thing!
Out here freezing to death, hey what do you think?
I?m gonna wait here all night turning wrinkled and blue?
You know there?s only so much a lonely man can do!
(CHORUS)
And I?m waitin? by your window and your door and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
I ain?t gonna ask you anymore and I wanna know,
will you come out tonight?
