Verse 1

It's already late

Way too late

Verse 1

Because we want the same thing

We don't need to say anything anymore

You kiss me softly

I feel the power

Verse 1

Happiness is beautiful when it smiles at you

Nobody has to explain that

Chorus 1

On my lips is

What you want to tell me

No, you don't have to go home tonight

We've already waited so long

Because the night is the heart

Of a love that smiles

No, you don't have to go home tonight

Life already goes by way too fast

So stay with me

Verse 2

You lead the way

Down the stairwell

Verse 2

You whisper softly in my left ear

But you don't have to say anything to me

Because every word

Disrupts

Verse 2

My body heard your question long ago

Nobody has to explain that

Chorus 2

So I think what you think

Without us saying it

No, you don't have to go home tonight

We've already waited so long

Because the night is the heart

Of a love that smiles

No, you don't have to go home tonight

Life already goes by way too fast

So stay with me

No, you don't have to go home

Bridge

You're even more beautiful

So much more beautiful than I ever imagined

We let ourselves fall

Fall deeper, deeper

This is the moment

I've waited for

Chorus 3

No, you don't have to go home tonight

Life already goes by way too fast

Over too quickly

Chorus 3

So stay with me

No, you don't have to go home

Outro

Way too late, because we want the same thing

No, you don't have to go home

Outro

Way too late, because we want the same thing

No, you don't have to go home

Outro

Way too late, because we want the same thing

No, you don't have to go home

Outro

Way too late, it's still way too late

No, you don't have to go home

SONG MEANING

In Je Hoeft Niet Naar Huis Vannacht (You Don’t Have To Go Home Tonight), Dutch superstar Marco Borsato captures that magical moment when two people realise they are perfectly in sync. The clock says it is far too late, yet neither lover cares. Kisses replace words, shared glances say everything, and the night itself becomes “the heart of a laughing love.” Borsato paints a cosy, almost cinematic scene where whispered promises on the stairs feel stronger than any spoken declaration.

Underneath the romance lies a simple message: stop racing through life and savour the now. The singer urges his partner to stay, to let time slow down, and to fall even deeper together. It is a celebration of mutual desire, unspoken understanding, and the sweet rebellion of choosing love over the ticking clock.
