Lyrics
Yeah, uh, feels good, don't it?
Listen, uh

Yeah, this was your city
You did it all and more, broke every law except for one, babe
Attraction, are you ready
I know you feel it
Pull you nearer 'til you feel it again, oh

I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it 'til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that lil' something I like
A little something I've been wanting to borrow
Tonight's the night, come on surrender
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love's a weapon
Give your body some direction
That's my aim
Then, we could

Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can't catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, then raise your glass and let's

Take back the night, take back the night
They gon' try to shut us down, but I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon' mess around and find out there ain't no one better
Take back the night, oh
Yeah

Rare, there's not too many
No one but you and crowded rooms, we can do anything (yeah)
Attraction can drive you crazy
The way you move, you go crazy, that's incentive for me

I wanna do something right
But we can do something better
Ain't no time like tonight
And we ain't trying to save it 'til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
You got that lil' something I like
A little something I've been wanting to borrow
Tonight the night's, come on surrender
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah
Your love's a weapon
Give your body some direction
That's my aim
Then, we could

Take back the night
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left
Take back the night
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can't catch your breath
Take back the night
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
So if the feeling's right, raise your glass and let's

Take back the night, take back the night
They gon' try to shut us down, but I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night, take back the night
You know you gon' mess around and find out there ain't no one better
Take back the night

Break it down now,
Break break it down,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo, doo, doo
Yeah, yeah, oh
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, take it over
Yeah, yeah

Y'all ready to have a good time out there, ladies and gentlemen?
JT and the Tennessee Kids
Let your hair down baby

Take back the night
Take back the night
Take back the night
We don't know when the sun is rising next
Take back the night
The feeling's right, raise your glass and let's
Take back the night
Take back the night
But they gon' try to shut us down, I'll be damned if we gon' let them
Take back the night alright
Take back the night
You know you gon' mess around and find out there ain't no one better
And the horns say, alright
And the horns say,
And the horns say, feels good to me
And the horns say, alright
Ooh it's taking over
