Sting - Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing) - Single

Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing) [Radio Version]

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

Late in the evenin', in the summer heat
Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket for this is my trade
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid

I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
Just a poor boy in a rich man's car
So I whisper to the engine and flick on the lights
And we drive into the night

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

Oh, the smell of the leather always excites my imagination
And I picture myself in some different situations
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
I get the feelin' that there's more to this one's life

There's some kind of complication but he tells her he's alone
He spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
Start ringin' in my ear

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

So here I'm
In a stolen car at a traffic light
They go from red to green
So I just drive into the night (drive her)

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

Please, take me dancin' tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Always hid from the light
Take me dancin'
Please, take me dancin' tonight

Drives into the night
