"Won't Go Home Without You" lyrics

"Won't Go Home Without You"

I asked her to stay
But she wouldn't listen
And she left before I had the chance to say, oh
The words that would mend
The things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night, you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath
I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake, oh
The weight of the things
That remained unspoken
Built up so much, it crushed us every day

Every night, you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
Oh-whoa-oh-oh

Of all the things I felt but never really showed
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh-oh-oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

Adam Levine summarized the meaning of this song in the Daily Mail in May 2007 by saying, "It's about desperately trying to impress a girl and doing everything I could to make her listen to me."
The bass line from The Police's song "Every Breath You Take" was the inspiration for the guitar undertone on "Won't Go Home Without You". Adam Levine admitted to The Guardian in 2007, "I wanted to write a song like it. There was no way it wasn't a direct influence."
Actress Tania Raymonde appears in the music video for this track.
