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.
Yeah, uh
Feels good, don't it?
Listen
Yeah, this was your city
You did it all and more
Broke every law except for one, babe
Attraction, are you ready?
I know you feel it
Pull you nearer 'til you feel it again, oh
I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it for later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that little something I like
A little something I've been wanting to borrow
Tonight’s the night, come on surrender
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love's a weapon
Give your body some direction
That's my aim
Then, we could
Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating
You can't catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, raise your glass and let's
Take back the night, take back the night
They gon' try to shut us down
I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon' mess around
And find out there ain't no one better
Take back the night, oh
Yeah
Rare, there's not too many
No one but you and crowded rooms
We can do anything (yeah)
Attraction can drive you crazy
The way you move, you go crazy
That's incentive for me
I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it for later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that little something I like
A little something I've been wanting to borrow
Tonight’s the night, come on surrender
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love's a weapon
Give your body some direction
That's my aim
Then, we could
Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating
You can't catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, raise your glass and let's
Take back the night, take back the night
They gon' try to shut us down
I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon' mess around
And find out there ain't no one better
Take back the night, break down, break down
Yeah yeah
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say, alright
Ooh, and the horns say, alright
And the horns say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Take it over
Yeah, yeah
Y'all ready to have a good time out there
Ladies and gentlemen?
JT
Alright
Take back the night, take back the night
Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, raise your glass and let's
Take back the night
Take back the night
They gon' try to shut us down
I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon' mess around
And find out there ain't no one better
And the horns say
Alright
And the horns say
Ooh, and the horns say
Feels good to me
And the horns say
Alright
Take it over
