Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin’
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Workin’ hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some’ll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin’
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
Babe, tomorrow’s so far away
There’s something I just have to say
I don’t think I could hide what I’m feelin’ inside
Another day, knowin’ I love you
And I, I’m getting too close again
I don’t wanna see it end
If I tell you tonight, would you turn out the lights
And walk away knowin’ I love you?
I’m gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I’m gonna tell you right away
I can’t wait another day, Amanda
I’m gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you
And I feel like today’s the day
I’m looking for the words to say
Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don’t wanna lose ya
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today, will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don’t wanna lose you
I’m gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I’m gonna tell you right away
I can’t wait another day, Amanda
I’m gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
Oh, girl
You and I
I know that we can’t wait
And I swear, I swear it’s not a lie, girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I, girl
We can share a life together
It’s now or never
And tomorrow may be too late
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
And feelin’ the way I do
I don’t wanna wait my whole life through
To say I’m in love with you
