That's the Reason Lyrics

It's late but I'm not finished yet
I'm stuck like a half smoked cigarette
between mates and the chances of something 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
take a chance, make my move
could be knocked back and they would all see
my mates and her's, it will be ugly
or maybe it'll work and this night would be
more than just jabber to my mates and me
she's just leaving holes in your memory
??? ??? ??? to a ??? ??? ???
instead I'll be ??? ??? ??? ??? under the sheets
with TV on and she would smell good
??? ??? go to work, the world would be alright for once

(That's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
There ain't no home tonight
(that's the reason, that's the reason, that's the reason)
there ain't no 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)
There ain't no home tonight

Yeah I have to use your toothbrush
I know that you may not ??? ??? much
but stop for a second Freda while you touch
most girl's magazines blah blah blaaah

(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

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

And that's the way it sounded to me

Can anyone make out all the missing words? I'm not 100% sure what they are...

Thanks for your help jasonveraSC! You really cleaned that up a lot. There are some lyrics there that I just can't hear though so I edited it to that effect. Is there anyone else out there that can make out the the rest or correct mistakes if there are some?
