I Want This Night (To Last Forever)

(album: Love Is For Suckers - 1987)

[words & music: Mark Tanner/Marty Wagner/D. Snider]

Whoa, yeah
This is the night I waited for
Counting the days, I couldn't take one more
I broke my back, you know I strained my brain, oh yeah
And now the more I give the less I seem to gain, oh no
Now I'm on my time, I do what I wanna do
It's my time to shine, this is it, I'm breaking through, oh

[CHORUS:]

I want this night to last forever, oh yeah
I want this night to last forever

Listen to me now
Out on the street the night fills my brain
So many girls to meet, they'll never be the same, ha
My radio's playing my favorite tune, oh yeah
This is the life, nothing I'd rather do, no no
I feel so alive, leave my troubles far behind
Gonna rock tonight, taking every chance I find, no

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Let's go

[RELEASE:]

All 'round, 'round the town, up and down, hear the sound
All 'round, 'round the town, up and down, whoa
All 'round, 'round the town, up and down, hear the sound
All 'round, 'round the town, hear the sound, whoa
Come on, let's stroll

[Solo Eddie]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I got to have it
I want this night to last forever, I need it, woman, let's do it baby
I want this night to last forever, come on, boys, let's go
