Walked in with my brand new black dress
Hoping I would get noticed
By you and some of your friends
The stars are out and I catch your eye
Hanging with the girls trying not to try
But inside I'm dying
And I said I was supposed to be out just to have a good time
But now I got your face caught up in my mind
And it's not going anywhere
This is the nightlife
Don't know where we're going
And I've tried
To stop the explosions
Sparks fly flames high
But I don't want to say goodbye
To the nightlife
The best is still in sight
Red lips and my hair pulled back tight
Doing everything to forget your smile
But I can't seem to erase it
The music's loud I can barely hear
Everything going on between the speakers
But I see you coming over here
And you said I was supposed to be out just to have a good time
But I saw you over here and hoped you wouldn't mind
If I stayed for a little while
This is the nightlife
Don't know where we're going
And I've tried
To stop the explosions
Sparks fly flames high
But I don't want to say goodbye
To the nightlife
The best is still in sight
I'll fly around the world
See a million faces
But nothing will come close
To you and me in these spaces
I thought I'd give it up
Once I'd seen more places
But I can't forget your love
And all the little traces
This is the nightlife
Don't know where we're going
And I've tried
To stop the explosions
Sparks fly flames high
But I don't want to say goodbye
To the nightlife
The best is still in sight
Cause this is the nightlife
The best is still in sight
