Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
Can't take it no more
I called your number and your daddy said,
You've just gone out the door
How could you throw it all away?
I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
