Own The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Feeling the heat,
I can't keep
the pressure off me.
Hear the man say
Earn your pay
or I'll let you go today.
But that's not for me
I was born to be alive
not livin' to survive
Come closer to me, baby
Make me believe it, I can
Own the night
reach up and touch the light
Own the night
You make me come alive
I own the night.
Here in the dark,
turn it on
Love me forever like this.
Baby don't stop
make it hot
I want to taste your burn again
Take me away
to a place I've never known
Livin' right down to the bone
Closer to me baby,
Make me believe it, I can
Own the night
reach up and touch the light
(love still shines)
Own the night
You make me come alive
I own the night.
You make me feel
I own the night
Own the night
touch the light
(love still shines)
own the night
(repeat to end)
