Only Takes a 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.
If I'm a joker and a fool tonight
If I'm a shadow at the bar
No one will listen anyway
So I'll complain and whine out loud
Oh hold me closer, hold me tight someone
I wanna dance and hit the ground
Pour me that spirit 'til I start a fight
And lose a thousand rounds
I wanna mess around
I wanna lose it all at once
If I can make the worst mistakes the devil ever made
I wanna mess around
I wanna lose it all at once
If I could make my life a hell I'd feel alive somehow
It only takes a night
It only takes a night
I'm in a comfortable disgrace tonight
In fact a pain of great delight
Isn't it funny how the wind can turn with people of your kind?
Ooh, I'm devastated just like everyone
But everyone enjoys me much
I'm afraid I've never felt as good as now, it's best [?]
I wanna mess around
I wanna lose it all at once
If I can make the worst mistakes the devil ever made
I wanna mess around
I wanna lose it all at once
If I could make my life a hell I'd feel alive somehow
It only takes a night
It only takes a night
It only takes one night
To make everything right
