the foot of the driveway,
all the stars shining brightly
Trying to talk so quietly,
so they won't wake her family
all evening they've been talking
He says, you know, I've been thinking,
would you do one thing for me?
that's all I'm asking for
All the streets are dark and empty
His heart's beating fast and steady
She says, you know, I'm not ready
To play around with anyone
He hears all the words she's saying
Folds his hands like he's praying
Says, you know, I'm not playing,
that's all I'm asking for
And tell me, how can goodnight
Goodnight and goodnight again
An d if he had his way about it,
goodnight would never en d
Then he walks her to the entrance
She takes her keys out in the silence
Says it was never my intention
Can I see you tomorrow evening
There's one more thing you can do
That's all I'm asking for
