D#
I told her, never in hell, no special reason
Must a lied 'cause I ain't leavin'
We're in for a very long night
Heard a vicious rumor from your mama's tongue:
You a desp'rate woman
Need a man with a gun
High crime zone in the city of lights

        D#  C#
Baby, please!
                 D#  G#
Can't take it anymore
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore

Chorus:
C#
I'm takin' whiskey to the party tonight
         G#                            D#
And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze
C#
I ain't lookin' for somebody to fight
       G#
Baby, don't get uptight
        B   A#
Baby, please!

Wanna see my I.D.? Try to clip my wings!
Don't have to show you proof of anything
I know the law friend
At the 'leventh hour. I'm goin' back outside
Give it a try
I'm your last loose end

Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore

Chorus:
I'm takin' whiskey to the party tonight
And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze
I ain't lookin' for somebody to fight
Baby, don't get uptight

Baby, please!
I feel my heart beat,
feel my heart beat,
feel my heart beat, oh yeah
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore

Chorus:
I'm takin' whiskey to the party tonight
And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze
I ain't lookin' for somebody to fight
Baby, don't get uptight
Baby, please!
