Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you I should have left this town this morning But it was more than I could do Oh, your love comes on so strong And I've waited all day long For tonight when I'll be staying here with you Is it really any wonder The love that a stranger might receive You cast your spell and I went under I find it so difficult to leave I can hear that whistle blowin' I see that stationmaster, too If there's a poor boy on the street Then let him have my seat 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
