We never thought You now the spirit of the party starts to come alive Until the day is starting You can throw on your boots and hit the city lights Cause all this music in the air You like to love it everywhere So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! We need the evening action A glass of wine, a little late romance It changes the action, See the people of the world, coming out today Cause all this music in the air You like to love it everywhere So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! Just give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So come on out tonight And it will be your Cause we're on the run to Paradise And if we'll be alone If we could be lovers Cause I see that star that I'm looking at Don't you know we can fly? Baby, tonight Just give me, just give me tonight! Just give me, give me tonight! Just give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So come on out tonight And it will be your Cause we're on the run to Paradise And if we'll be alone If we could be lovers Cause I see that star that I'm looking at Don't you know we can fly? And if we stay together We'll feel the rhythm of the evening Taking us that high Never mind the weather Cause we'll be dancing on the streets Till the morning light Cause all this music in the air You like to love it everywhere So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight! So give me the night! Just give me, give me tonight!
