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
