"You're All I've Got Tonight" is a cover by The Smashing Pumpkins of The Cars' 1978 song. It was included on the "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" single in The Aeroplane Flies High box set. The song was featured in the 1997 film, The Saint but was not included on the soundtrack.[1]
| “ | A really great Cars song, stripped of everything but the most basic riff to emphasize the heavy double-tracked drumming. Also, we added a Bay City Roller-style stomp, with me and about eight of my friends stomping along with the third verse nicely out of time. | ” |
| — Billy Corgan, Guitar World, January 1997 | ||
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
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 'cus 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 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 bump me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright
