She's driving away with the dim lights on And she's making a play, she can't go wrong She never waits too long She's winding them down on her clock machine And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen She's a frozen fire, she's my one desire I don't want to hold her down Don't want to break her crown When she says "let's go I like the nightlife baby" She says, "I like the nightlife baby" She says, "let's go" She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes She never likes to choose She's got wonderful eyes and a risqué mouth And when I asked her before she said she's holding out She's a frozen fire, she's my one desire I don't want to hold her down Don't want to break her crown When she says, "let's go" I like the nightlife baby" She says, "I like the nightlife baby" She says, "let's go" "I like the nightlife baby" She says, "I like the nightlife baby" She says, "let's go"
