There's a bar right across the street He's got a need he just can't beat Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine He's gonna win her every time He knows he will, he's dressed to kill He's a night owl Move on There's a heart of a night owl callin' To belong She's cryin' in the night Be strong And find the heart of the night owl fallin' Stay up till dawn Until the night is gone What will become of the restless kind Where do they go when they've done their time Wearin' their hearts out on the line For all to see Must be the gypsy in their soul They have a need to rock and roll They always will They're out there still They're the night owls Move on There's a heart of a night owl callin' To belong She's cryin in the night Be strong And find the heart of the night owl fallin' Stay up till dawn Until the night is gone There's a bar right across the street He's got a need he just can't beat Out on the floor he shuffles his feet away He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine He's gonna win her every time He knows he will, he's out there still He's a night owl So move on There's a heart of a night owl callin' To belong He's cryin' in the night Be strong And find the heart of the night owl fallin' Stay up till dawn until the night is gone The night goes on and on Until the night is gone.
