1, 2, 3, 4
Hmm oh baby, come on

24 hours 'til I take flight
Baby, left at 10 tonight
Only just a matter of time before I'm
Gonna wish I was by your side
It's gonna be a long day, a long night

I want you to do me right

Come on take me, take me
Only you can stimulate me
Won't you take me, take me
I just wanna scream, so make me tonight

Ten thousand people in the state of fever
I'm blinded by the flashing lights
Turn my back on the stage, I'm gonna make an escape
While the driver waits outside
It's gonna be a long day, I need a long night
I want you to do me right

Oh baby, take me, take me
Only you can stimulate me
Won't you take me, take me
I just wanna scream, so make me tonight
Oh baby

Eight hours in and I'm still undressed
Don't move too fast, I'm not finished yet
When I'm with you, I wanna lose myself
Forget the show and do something else
7 AM and the sun is up
I need somebody just to fill my cup
9 AM, I'm out to JFK
Hit me now, take my breath away

Oh, take me (take me), take me
Only you can stimulate me
Won't you take me (take me), take me
I just wanna scream, so make me (turn it up, turn it out)

Collecting my frequent fly points for you, baby (turn me on, turn me on)
Ha, back on a plane again, what? (Turn it up, turn it out)
Only you, only you (turn me on, turn me on)
Whoa, whoa (Turn it up, turn it up)
Oh, you make me scream and shout (turn me on, turn me on)
Make me scream (turn it up, turn it up)
Baby, baby yeah, (turn me on, turn me on) oh baby

Eight hours in and I'm still undressed
Don't move too fast, I'm not finished yet
When I'm with you, I wanna lose myself
Forget the show and do something else
7 AM and the sun is up
I need somebody just to fill my cup
9 AM, I'm out to JFK
Hit me now, take my breath away

Oh, take me (take me), take me
Only you can stimulate me
Won't you take me (take me), take me
I just wanna scream, so make me, ooh

Oh, ooh, tonight
Yeah, tonight

Line by Line Meaning

24 hours 'til I take flight
I only have a day left before I go; the clock is ticking

Baby, left at 10 tonight
I'm leaving tonight at 10, so I won't see you before I go

Only just a matter of time before I'm
It's inevitable; soon, I'll wish I was with you

Gonna wish I was by your side
I'll long to be with you

It's gonna be a long day, a long night
It will feel like an eternity without you

I want you to do me right
I need you to treat me well; be good to me

Only you can stimulate me
You're the only one who can excite me

I just wanna scream, so make me tonight
I want you to give me pleasure; let's enjoy the moment

Ten thousand people in the state of fever
The crowd is energetic and enthusiastic

I'm blinded by the flashing lights
It's so bright that I can't see straight

Turn my back on the stage, I'm gonna make an escape
I need to leave the show and be with you instead

While the driver waits outside
I have transportation ready to take me to you

Oh baby, take me, take me
I need you to take me and show me a good time

Eight hours in and I'm still undressed
I've spent eight hours enjoying myself with you

When I'm with you, I wanna lose myself
Being with you makes me forget everything else

7 AM and the sun is up
It's morning, and I need companionship

I need somebody just to fill my cup
I need someone to satisfy me emotionally and physically

Hit me now, take my breath away
I want you to take charge and leave me breathless

Collecting my frequent fly points for you, baby
I'm traveling to see you often and building up frequent flyer miles

Ha, back on a plane again, what?
I'm excited to see you, even if it means I have to travel a lot

Only you, only you
There's no one else for me but you

Oh, you make me scream and shout
You make me feel incredible and I can't help but show it

Make me scream
I want you to give me pleasure

Baby, baby yeah, oh baby
I adore you and I need you to be with me

Yeah, tonight
Tonight is the night that we'll be together
