The Cars - You're All I've Got Tonight Lyrics

The Cars Lyrics

"You're All I've Got Tonight"

I don't care if you hurt me some more
I don't care if you even the score
You can knock me and I don't care
You can mock me and I don't care
You can rock me just about anywhere
It's alright

'Cause you're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
I need you tonight

I don't care if you use me again
I don't care if you abuse me again
You can make me I don't care
You can fake me I don't care
You can love me just about anywhere
It's alright

Cause you're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
Said I need you tonight

I don't want to feel sorry for you
You don't have to make believe it's you
You can pump me I don't care
You can bump me I don't care
You can love me just about anywhere
It's alright

You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
Said I need you tonight

You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
I need you tonight

The only single version of this song was released as the B-side to "All Mixed Up" in the Netherlands.

Ric Ocasek described "You're All I've Got Tonight" to EA News in May 1978 as such, "When things get too quiet, and you're willing to put up with any company, or you're not willing to accept the prospect of being alone, you might find yourself needing what you've got."

An early The Cars' demo of this song was included on Rhino's 1999 deluxe edition of their debut album.

This song was a fan favourite at concerts. Ric Ocasek explained on the 1979 "SuperGroups in Concert" series, "We do that [song] all the time. I like that song. It's just about ending up with somebody you don't necessarily care to be ending up with, but something's better than nothing."
