Song Lyrics

(Well, well, well)
(Well, well, well)

Well, well, well
Look who's home
My, I thought you didn't gonna make it tonight, honey

Oh, me?
Oh yes, I'm getting ready to go out
Oh no, no, no
No, I know you didn't think I was staying home again tonight

Oh no, brother, I can see
I'm gonna have to explain something to you
Oh, it's no like that anymore
Don't you understand that?
Don't you realize it yet?

Maybe I can make you understand with these few words?
I'll try to make it as brief as possible

(Well, well, well)
(Well, well, well)

I can't take the hearbreak of you leaving me again
And I'm not the one I was back then, no, no, no, no
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but I'm not staying home

(Night and day) I was patient
But I've had all I could take (All I can take)

(One night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
Goin' to find a friend to spend the weekend

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)

Baby, don't see the love 'cause it was never, never here before
You close your eyes and I'm closing the door
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but you see I'm not stayin' home

'Cause night and day I was patient
But I've had all I could take

(Tonight's the night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
I'm goin' to find, to find someone, someone to spend the night, baby

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (I said tonight, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)

Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tooroo, gotta go out
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tootooroo (Hey, hey, hey)
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tooroo, gotta go out
Too-too-too, too-toorooroo-tootooroo

'Cause night and day, you see, baby, I was patient
But I've had all I could take (I've had all I could take now)

Night and day (Oh yeah, yeah)
But I've had all I could take (I've had all I could take)

(Tonight's the night the time is right)
Maybe I'll find someone, somebody who want my body, baby
(Goin' out, but the chance ain't wide)
I'm goin' to find someone to spend the night

(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (Oh yes, it is)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight) (That's right, baby)
(Tonight is partytime, it's partytime tonight)
