I've been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean We'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue Baby just one kiss will get these things for you A kiss to seal our fate tonight A kiss to prove it all night Prove it all night Girl there's nothing else that we can do So prove it all night Prove it all night And girl I'll prove it all night for you Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price Prove it all night Prove it all night Prove it all night girl and call the bluff We'll prove it all night Prove it all night Girl I'll prove it all night for your love Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo You hear their voices telling you not to go They've made their choices and they'll never know What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie What it's like to live and die Prove it all night Prove it all night Girl there's nothing else that we can do So prove it all night Prove it all night And girl I'll prove it all night for you I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night I'll prove it all night
