Heartache Tonight
- Eagles Lyrics

Somebody's gonna hurt someone before the night is through.
Someone is bound to hurt another person before the night is over.

Somebody's gonna come undone; there's nothin' we can do
Someone is going to lose control and fall apart, and there's nothing we can do to prevent it.

Everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night
Everyone desires to connect with another person, even if it takes all night to do so.

Everybody wants to take a little chance, make it come out right
Everyone is willing to take some risks in order to make things go well.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
There's no doubt that there will be heartbreak tonight.

Lord, I know.
The singer is certain that there will be heartbreak tonight.

Some people like to stay out late
Some individuals prefer to stay out late.

Some folks can't hold out that long
Some people cannot tolerate staying out for an extended period of time.

But nobody wants to go home now; there's too much goin' on
However, no one wants to leave at this moment because there's too much happening.

This night is gonna last forever. Last all, last all summer long
The evening seems like it will go on indefinitely, lasting all summer long.

Some time before the sun comes up the radio is gonna play that song
At some point before dawn, the radio will play that song again.

The moon's shinin' bright, so turn out the light, and we'll get it right
The moon is shining brightly, so turn off the lights and we will get what we want.

We can beat around the bushes; we can get down to the bone
We can either avoid the issue or confront it head-on.

We can leave it in the parkin' lot, but either way
We can either ignore it or deal with it, but it won't change the outcome.

Let's go.
Let's move forward and see what happens, despite the inevitability of heartbreak.
