The heart of the city street was beating

Light from the neons turned the dark to day

We were too hot to think of sleeping

We had to get out before the magic got away

We were running with the night

Playing in the shadows

Just you and I, till the morning light

(We were running, running with the night) oh

You were looking so good girl, heads were turning

You and me on the town, ooh, we let it all hang out

The fire was in us, we were burning

We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt

We were running with the night

Playing in the shadows

Just you and I, till the morning light

(We were running, running with the night) oh

We were so in love, you and me

On the boulevard wild and free

Giving all we got, we laid it down

Taking every shot, we took the town

We were running with the night

Playing in the shadows

Just you and I and it was so right

Girl, it was so right
