A scarecrow and yellow moon and road house on the edge of town
Hear that midnight rooster crow well I have one more before I go
But honey don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.
The night is cool beneath the stars I'm ridin' home in John's old car
Got my head out in the wind here I am drunk up again
But honey don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.
Me and John in a pickup truck a bottle of gin and a paper cup
Runnin' wild and livin' hard and I pa**ed out in our front yard
But honey don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.
The moon is high the sun is down honey came out in her old night gown
On a porch at a quarter o'three talkin' to the deputy sheriff and me
But honey don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.
I said honey don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight...
