I know you'll be satisfied
If you'll take a chance
Steppin' in time, stay by my side
Welcome to the dance
So turn it up, I'm burin' up
Got to cool me with your ooo, ooo, music
Come on
I want everybody to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now
We'll take it uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night you won't forget
And if I have to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side tomorrow night
Some say love should hesitate
But I say that's a crime
Sure you're not in love today
But take one at a time
Get your saxophone, squeeze it all night long
I got to hear a little "Midnight Hour"
Come on
I want everybody to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now
We'll take it uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night you'll never forget
And if I got to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side
We'll tear it up and down tomorrow
You've never see nothin' like us yet
Take hold of my hand, hold my hand
Gonna be side by side tomorrow night
Get your saxophone, squeeze it all night long
Gotta move me with your ooo, ooo, music
Come on
I know you're just dyin' to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now
We'll take it up
I'll take you uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night that you'll never forget
And if I got to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side tomorrow
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
Hey Now, Hey Now
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
Oh, honey won't you think about it
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
We're gonna be side by side
You and I Hey Now
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
