Come On Out Tonight - Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge


Lyrics

well you got some tips and you learned some licks
you wanna try and teach this old dog some new tricks, huh?
well you told your friends you'd have a little bit of fun
you wanna walk on up now one, huh?
you asked me if I'd like to dine - do you have enough courage
have you had enough wine, sunshine?

keep your head up
don't you sweat in the spotlight
you're coming out tonight
yeah, you're coming out tonight

take a good hard look at this big star view
don't be bitin' off more than you're ever gonna chew, yeah
you can break the rules when you play in the dark
but every wild fire comes from a little bitty spark, yeah
does your mama know who you're hangin' around
a souped up punk in a rock and roll gown, uh, small town

keep your head up
don't you sweat in the spotlight
you're coming out tonight

come on out tonight
come on out tonight
come on out tonight
come on out tonight

(are you ready for your big premiere
people will think your acting sort of queer)
Hey, well come over here

Tell your friends that you won't be home
you got a tiger by the tail and a tiger on the phone, yeah
You're lookin' sharp you got the right location
everybody's ready for the next sensation, your reputation

keep your head up
don't you sweat in the spotlight
keep your head up
don't you sweat in the spotlight
keep your head up
don't you sweat in the spotlight
you're coming out tonight

come on out tonight
come on out tonight
come on out tonight
come on out tonight
