I was just as stumped on this song for a while because he slurs the words together so closely but I think I figured out a lot after one car ride home so I'll post the the song the way I hear it with some changes as well as adding to the blanks, with some parts still missing:
Mind you, a lot of this is blurred together when he sings it, but I think it makes a lot of sense in the context of the song
It's late but I'm not finished yet
I'm stuck like a half smoked cigarette
but too late and so are the chances of it happenin'
she's in a group, she might be leaving soon
for a club or just a taxi home
I'd like to be in a taxi by her
but I'll take a chance, make my move
Couldn't knock back or they would all see (??? on this one)
my mates and her's, it would be ugly
or maybe it'll work and this night will be
more than just jabber to my mates and me;
She just leaving holes in your memory.
??? ??? ??? to a ??? ??? ???
instead I'll be back in her loft under the sheets
with TV on and she will smell good
we could even make it work, the world would be alright for once
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
Ya I have to use your toothbrush
I know that you may not like that much
but stop for a second Freda, "Why you ????"
most girl's names mean blah blah blah
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(That's the reason)
then you'd wake up
(that's the reason)
you were holding my hand
(that's the reason)
fall asleep again
(that's the reason)
big smile on my face
(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I asked her for a light
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
I ain't going home tonight

And that's the way it sounded to me
