Take Me Home Tonight Lyrics
I feel hungry it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation's running through me
Let's find the keys and turn the engine on.
I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster.
Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby.
I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
I need some company a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow.
I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster.
Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my little baby.
Just like Ronnie sang
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my darling
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger.
(Repeat chorus)
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation's running through me
Let's find the keys and turn the engine on.
I can feel your heart beat faster.
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby.
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
I need some company a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow.
I can feel your heart beat faster.
I don't want to let you go till you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen honey
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my little baby.
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my darling
I feel a hunger
It's a hunger.

Remember the oldies song "Be My Baby" by the Ronette's? It was written and produced by Phil Spector. To refresh your memory, the chorus goes:
"So come on and please (Be my be my baby) Be my little baby (I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling (Be my be my baby) Be my baby now (I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh "
Anyway...
Ronnie Bennett was the lead singer of the Ronettes. And she is the woman singing in this Eddie Money song. When he says "Just like Ronnie sang..." he's referring to the classic Ronette's tune. And then Ronnie Bennet of the Ronette's pipes in and does her bit. FYI, her name is really Veronica but she changed it when she formed the Ronettes.
Yeah I was listening to one of my CDs full of mp3s and came across this song, then I looked it up and realized that Mr. money was nowhere to be found, so i though i do everyone a favor and post his bad ass up
this is one of my favorite songs right now. when i hear it, i just want to make out.i especially like the part about sleeping alone, b/c i've been having nightmares too.
"Do you think Eddie Money had to put up with this shit?"-Broken Lizard's Club Dread
How can you not jam along to this in your car? Love it- one of my fave 80's tunes.
I can't believe Eddie Money hasn't been added until today! Take Me Home Tonight is one of the greatest 80's songs ever! It's just the way the music really pumps you up, and gets you goin. I love Eddie Money! lol
Good for you! I can't believe i never thought of looking him up before! you know, if you like him, maybe you'd like Peter Murphy. His song, "I'll Fall With Your Knife" is SO good!
corny 80s rock. it doesn't get any better than this
