Lyrics

[Verse]
Tell me why you gotta look at me that way
You know what it does to me
So baby, what you tryna say, ayy?
Lately all I want is you on top of me
You know where your hands should be
So baby, won't you come show me, hmm?
I got you, I got you dreamin'
You close your eyes and you're screamin'
Play with your mind for no reason
I know you love how I tease it
You know that I'm playin'
So don't be mistaken
You already know what I'm thinkin', boy

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you, woah
Why must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well

[Chorus]
Just say goodnight n go
Oh, oh, oh
Just say goodnight n go
Oh, oh, oh
Just say goodnight n go

[Bridge]
One of these days
You'll miss your train
And come stay with me
(It's always say goodnight n go)
We'll have drinks
And talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
And you'd sleep here, I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
(At my convenience)
We'd be good, we'd be great together

[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you, woah
When must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well

[Chorus]
Just say goodnight n go
Oh, oh, oh (Exactly)
Just say goodnight n go (I know how you want it, baby, just like this)
Oh (Know you're thinkin' bout it, baby, just one kiss), oh (While you're lookin' at 'em, baby, read my lips), oh (I know what you want, but you can't have this)

[Post-Chorus]
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-da-da

[Outro]
Wanna say goodnight
Honey, say goodnight n go
Wanna say goodnight
Baby, say goodnight n go
Wanna say goodnight
Say goodnight n go
