He's a lean and hungry hunter, on the street tonight the fire's bright
She's in his sights
She's a lonely little dancer, out to find a daring new romance
The girl takes a chance

[Chorus]
They're hunters of the night, find their love where they might
We're all hunters of the night
Yeah

She can see her lonely stranger, standing in the cold street corner light
There in the night
She can feel his arms surround her, wanting this embrace to never end
Still once again

[Chorus]

Ohhh-ohhh, we're all hunters of the night

See the lean and hungry hunter, standing in the cold street corner light
There in the night
She can feel his arms surround her, wanting this embrace to never end
Still once again

[Chorus]

We are hunters, we all hunt the night, findin' love wherever they might
We're all hunters, we're hunters of the night
Ohhh-ohhh, we're all hunters of the night
Ohhh-ohhh, we're all hunters of the night

Ohhh, we hunt the night, we hunt the night, we hunt the night... [Repeat until fade]

Mr. Mister

Mr. Mister was an American pop rock band most popular in the 1980s. The band's name came from an inside joke about a Weather Report album called Mr. Gone where they referred to each other as "Mister This" or "Mister That", and eventually selected "Mr. Mister." Mr. Mister may be considered as representative of the melodic sound of 1980s pop rock. The band consisted of Richard Page on vocals and bass guitar, Steve George on keyboards, Pat Mastelotto on acoustic and electronic drums and Steve Farris on guitars. more »
