Who’s gonna tell you when
It’s too late
Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great

You can’t go on, thinkin’
Nothings’ wrong, whoa..
Who’s gonna drive you home
tonight?

Who’s gonna pick you up
When You fall?
Who’s gonna hang it up
When you call?

Who’s gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who’s gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?

You can’t go on, thinkin’
Nothings wrong, whoa…
Who’s gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who’s gonna drive you home)

(Bye baby)
(Bye baby)
(Bye baby)
(Bye baby)

Who’s gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who’s gonna come around,
When you break?

You can’t go on, thinkin’
Nothin’s wrong, whoa…,
Who’s gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who’s gonna drive you home)

Ho…, you know you can’t go on, thinkin’
Nothin’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home, tonight?

(Bye baby)
(Bye baby)
(Bye baby).
