Tonight
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're strong, we're weak, we're tired
We're straight, we're gay, we're bi
We're black, we're white, why?
To tell the truth, we lie
We get so trapped inside our little lives
They disappear, before our very eyes

So come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
It's time we gave it up tonight
Live it up tonight from now on

We won, we lost, we tried
Be a saint, I'm fine 'cause I died
I'm so sick and tired of crying
So tonight, it's time, just fly
So now we got so close
Caught up in the deal
We lost the only thing we had that's real

So come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
It's time we gave it up tonight
Live it up tonight from now on

So we can keep it, make it real
Can't you feel

Though it hurts so bad
To say goodbye
I know my love for you
Is still alive

So come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
It's time we gave it up tonight
Live it up tonight from now on

So come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
It's time we gave it up tonight
Live it up tonight from now on

So come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
It's time we gave it up tonight
Live it up tonight from now on

Come on live it up tonight
Live it up tonight, move on
