"Go Home" is a 1986 hit single released by American and Motown musician Stevie Wonder released on the Tamla (Motown) label. The song showcased the narrator's plea to a young woman to go home, though the girl tries to get the narrator to stay with her. In the U.S., the song became another #1 adult contemporary hit for Wonder and reached #10 on the pop singles chart. As of 2011[update], it is Wonder's last song to reach the U.S. top ten on the Billboard pop chart. The song also peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and topped the dance chart in 1986.
Stevie performed this song as early as the 7 May 1983 episode of Saturday Night Live and nearly two years later at the 1985 Grammy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, California, in the famous synthesizer jam with other contemporaries Howard Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Thomas Dolby.[1]

Go Home
by: Joan Jett & The Blackhearts(Jett-Hanna)
Walkin' on the streets tonight
I am so aware of you
Give me a reason to fight
When there's nowhere to run to
Go home
Wake up, wake up, wake up right now
There's no one to protect you
Hide myself behind my words
Hide myself inside a' my clothes
Hide myself inside my mind
Go home
Go home
Now take that voice outside a' my head
I hear that voice inside a' my head
Get that voice outta my head
I hear that voice inside a' my head
I will choke it dead, dead
I will stab it dead, dead
I will kill it dead, dead
Go home
