Tonight Tonight
John King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Sittin' on a sidewalk, readin' the faces
Everybody's going to different places
All week long, I'm working for a paycheck that barely makes it
Livin' for a dream I've got to chase it
The beat goes on
Well everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Take it in for a minute, yeah
Take it in
Come Monday morning
I'm in a hurry I got a job and they think they own me
The same ole song
Yeah, thank God it's Friday
I get out early I got my friends and I got my money
The beat goes on
Well everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Take it in for a minute, yeah
Take it in
It's Sunday morning, the sun is risin'
Look at the colors, they're mesmerizing
The beat goes on, take it in for a minute yeah
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
Everybody knows
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Is going to be the best night of our lives
