And I didn't walk you home for you to ask me in.

Sounds a bit like "pidä tunkkis" :lol:
"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes."

More literally but the original is not quite this formal:

“And I didn’t set out to escort you (home) with the intention/expectation that you would have asked me in (your house/apartment).” (The prospect of you asking me to stay [which apparently didn’t happen] was not the reason why I agreed/volunteered to walk you home.)
