We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight
Emma Bunton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
It's something about your
Friends are always there for you
Help you with the bad times
And they'll see you through
Being with a man is
Never quite the same
'Cause we just have some fun
And merely play the game
I don't know where we will go
But I know we're
Gonna stop the show

Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're gonna get down tonight
See if we can make you blush
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight

Tonight, we're not gonna sleep
We will find the time
To party all night long
Now that we're together
We just can't go wrong
Dancing in the street
And making lots of noise
People want to join
Especially the boys

There's no way
It's just the girls
For tonight
We're in our own world

Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're gonna get down tonight
See if we can make you blush
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're not gonna sleep
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Tonight
All right
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Hey hey
We're not gonna sleep
(Sleep sleep)

Girls are on the town tonight
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're gonna get down tonight
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight

Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
(Nothing can stop us)
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're gonna get down tonight
(We're gonna get down tonight)
See if we can make you blush
(See if we can make you blush)
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight

We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep
We're not gonna sleep tonight
(Tonight)
Oh oh




We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep tonight

Justice for Emma Bunton's solo musical career !!

@alfbunton

Si hubiera sacado el Album Version y como 4 single, esta canción hubiera sido top5. El 3 single y single navideño tenía que haber sido A World Without You.

@venikeque

Esta version está mejor
