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
