Got this endless itch to ride

Into the night

Fortune cookie says I'm right

Kung Fu like

 

Shake your body, Mister

Gonna make ya body blister

Say hey, hey, hey

 

Don't wanna have ta make ya

I don't wanna have to shake ya down

Hey, hey, hey

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Pitter-patter doesn't matter what you got

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love into the nightlife

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love, into the nightlife

Love into the nightlife

 

Want to dress for you tonight

Under the light

Shot up like a satellite

Into the night

 

Shake ya money maker

I will never be a faker

Now, hey, hey, hey

 

Leave 'em standing, waitin'

Till they're practically faintin'

Now, hey, hey, hey

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Pitter-patter doesn't matter what you got

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love and into the nightlife

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love, into the nightlife

Love into the nightlife

 

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Under the light

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Pitter-patter doesn't matter what you got

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love and into the nightlife

 

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough

I'll take ya till ya all spun up

And in love, into the nightlife

Love into the nightlife

 

Into the nightlife

Into the nightlife

Into the nightlife

 

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Under the light.
