(David Smalley/Eric Carmen)

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
