On a night like this, I need your sweet kiss
Yeah it's only you that can heal me girl
Till there's no more rain, and there's no more pain
Oh yeah darlin' you take it all all away.
I've been out walkin' on those city streets
I've been so restless for so long
In those dark places where they keep the beat
You're missing nothing, it's the same old song.
When the beat goes on, when the music's playing
It's raining in my heart yeah, and the room keeps on swaying
I'm sitting in this crowd, oh yeah, but you're the one I miss
I know how much I need you girl, on a night like this.
On a night like this, I just can't resist
All the sweet love, you want to give to me girl
When I'm all at sea, you can rescue me
Yeah it's only you, that can turn this old heart around.
It's been so long since I went steppin' out
I went looking for something new
Then I remember what it's all about
And I bring it all home to you.
When the beat goes on, when the music's playing
It's raining in my heart yeah, and the room keeps on swaying
I'm sitting in this crowd, oh yeah, but you're the one I miss
I know how much I need you girl, on a night like this.
When the beat goes on, when the music's playing
It's raining in my heart yeah, and the room keeps on swaying
I'm sitting in this crowd, oh yeah, but you're the one I miss
I know how much I need you girl, on a night like this
