  • Now I'm not like this, I'm really kind of shy
    But I get this feeling whenever you walk by
    I don't want to down you, I want to make you high
    If you you could see your way to me, come on and let me try

    Let me take you home tonight
    Mamma now it's alright
    Let me take you home tonight
    I'll show you sweet delight

    You must understand this, I've watched you for so long
    That I feel I've known you, I know it can't be wrong
    If we just get together, I want to make you see
    I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight, so mamma let it be

    Let me take you home tonight
    Mamma now it's alright
    Let me take you home tonight
    I'll show you sweet delight

    I don't want to make excuses, I don't want to lie
    I just got to get loose
    With you tonight

    Let me take you home tonight
    Mamma now it's alright
    Let me take you home tonight
    I'll show you sweet delight

    I don't want to make excuses, I don't want lie
    I just got to get loose
    With you tonight

    I don't want to down you, I want to make you high
    And I get this feeling whenever you walk by
    If we just get together, I want to make you see
    I'm dreamin' of your sweet love tonight, so mamma let it be

    Let me take you home tonight
    Mamma now it's alright
    Let me take you home tonight
    I'll show you sweet delight
    I want to show you sweet delight, show ya sweet delight
    Pretty mamma want to show ya sweet delight

  • Camille from Toronto, OhProbably the most likable song from this group that I used to love so much as a teen, but nowadays don't feel their music has much relevance to my life.
  • Catherine from Chicago, IlLove the lyrics.

  • Steven from Chesapeake, VaGreat song if delp can write this well he shouldve done it more often boston is defineately one of my top 5 fav bands and Brad Delp will truely be missed
  • Mary from Phoenix, AzRest in Peace Brad. You'll be missed.
  • Josh from New York, NyHow can Hootie & the blowfish have knocked them out of first, when APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION is still the #1 best selling debut ever. Feel free to explain.
  • Paul Miller from Keizer, OrI love riding to this song.
  • Dee from Indianapolis, InIt's sad to think Hootie and the Blowfish knocked Boston out of 1st place. They arn't even close to being in the same league as Boston, for that matter, neither is Michael Jackson. No one has or ever will be able to create the sound that Boston does. It may take years for albums to come out, but it gives me something to look forward to. This is my all time favorite band, so maybe I'm a little biased.
  • Ben from West Lafayette, In"This was the only song on the album written by vocalist Brad Delp. All the others were written by Tom Scholz." Not quite correct. The song "Smokin'" has a Scholz/Delp credit.
