I'll Take Lonely Tonight

I'll take lonely tonight
 Your offer is kind
 And I must confess that I find
 Your casual caresses and that pretty dress
 Pretty hard to resist
 And Christ, what a night
 I think you're pretty high
 I know I'm pretty pissed
 But I'll take lonely tonight
 Though I'm not denying
 I hate being alone
 Even so, I know regret in the making
 You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake
 And although this extraction is taking
 A great act of will
 I got a girl, has my heart in a house on a hill
 So though I am hungry and tempted
 I'm sorry, I'm not going to bite
 I'm gonna take lonely
 ♪
 I'll take lonely tonight
 Though I know I might well have future regrets
 That I didn't more often take up these chances
 For what is life for but to shag, drink and dance
 And teenager me would be screaming his pants off
 Begging me to stay
 But my girl has my heart in a house half a planet away
 And I'd rather murder than hurt her
 So sorry though it feels so right
 I'm gonna take lonely tonight

 Odysseus wasn't strong enough
 To endure the siren song and so
 He made his sailors tie him to a mast
 And Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights
 And he stood his ground and fought his fight
 And the devil tried but couldn't break his fast
 If this is true
 The devil should've offered him you
 Goddammit
 I'll take lonely tonight
 In my three-point-five star
 Boutique hotel
 Where I will spend 25 bucks
 On minibar snacks
 And pass out on my phone
 And wake in four hours or so
 Soaked in relief to find
 I am alone
 With only the wrappers
 Of Pringles and Snickers
 For which to atone
 Blissfully lonely
