"Sure, bae, I could ask you everything A dream boy could ask." But, well, you know... All I want to know Is... Can I, can I, can I Take you home tonight? And... Let’s get donuts in Livonia And avoid all the policemen. Can I pick you up clean in that midnight sheen? Cream suit, church shoes, dashboard gleam. Pull up slow with the seats pristine — Say less, babe, I already know what you mean. Can I drive past 7 and the lights turn green? Can I get that jelly with the custard creme? Two for you, one for me — that’s the routine. Soft box, warm love, under neon beams. Can I duck that turn past the corner store? One-time posted by the county door. You laugh, say, "Babe, we done this before." I nod, say "Grace," and I hold you more. Can I play Doughboy50 through the Delorean? Eat two donuts, fly back for more? You smile like Jesus, and your eyes just pour — I swear this ride’s just what I’ve been livin’ for. Let’s get donuts in Livonia And avoid all the policemen. All I want to know... Can I? Can I? Can I take you home tonight? Take you home tonight.
