Night
Billy Ocean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are to me as sweet as apple pie
You're next to me, we'll reach the highest high
Oh, can't you see it could be ecstasy
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

Turn down the light, we'll turn β€˜em way down low
No need to fight, we'll take it nice and slow
Baby, tonight, we gotta let go
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do you know

Stay the night
You're a woman, I'm a man
Stay the night
We can do what things you planned

Stay the night
Stay the night
Stay the night

We're all alone, there's only you and I
Pull out the phone, we'll kiss the world goodbye
We'll stay at home and make it on our own
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

Turn down the light, we'll turn β€˜em way down low
No need to fight, we'll take it nice and slow
Baby, tonight, oh, we gotta let go
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do you know

Stay the night
You're a woman, I'm a man
Stay the night
We can do what things you planned

Stay the night
Stay the night
Stay the night

Stay
Stay the night
Stay
Stay the night

Stay
Stay the night
Stay
Stay the night (Stay the night, stay the night)

Stay the night
You're a woman, I'm a man
Stay the night
We can do what things you planned

Stay the night
Stay the night
Stay the night

Stay
Stay the night (Stay the night)
Stay
Stay the night (Stay the night)

Stay (You're a woman, I'm a man)




Stay the night
Stay (We can do what things you planned)

Ooh, I'm on fire
Life has just begun
My only, desire
Have myself some fun
I've got money but nobody
No one to call my own
Feel so lonely, I'm tired
Tired of being alone

So I'm heading for the city lights
Dancing where the grooves are right (all night)
Go to a place I know
Where do all the people go
It's just one of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down
It's just one of them nights
It's just one of them nights you feel like getting down

Life is for living
I'm gonna have it all
Gonna check out, what's happening
And have myself a ball
Gonna step, out of the shadow
Step into a groove (step into a groove)
Got to put out, this fire
There's no time to lose

So I'm heading for the city lights
Dancing where the grooves are right (all night)
Go to a place I know
Where do all the people go
It's just one of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down
It's just one of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down
It's just one of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down
One of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down

New York City lights
Showing me the way
Take me to the heights
Gonna break all night to the break of day

So I'm heading for the city lights
Dancing where the grooves are right (all night)
Go to a place I know
Where do all the people go
It's just one of them nights
One of them nights you feel like getting down

Benjamin Carter

Back in 1981 when this song came out... So did Billy Ocean's name. And he continued his follow up success in 1984 through 1988. He is definitely a house hold name. 😊
