Got this endless itch to ride
Into the night
Fortune cookie says I'm right
Kung Fu like

Shake your body Mister
Gonna make ya body blister, say hey, hey, hey
Don't wanna have to make ya
I don't wanna have to shake ya down, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Pitter, patter doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Turn you over baby till its never enough
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life
Like love
In the night life

Want to dress for you tonight
Under the light
Shot up like a satellite
Into the night
Shake ya money maker
I will never be a faker now, hey hey hey
Leave 'em standing waitin'
Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey

[Chorus]

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight [Repeat x2]
Under the light

[Chorus]

Into the night life [repeated]

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light
