We Own the Night
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it alright, if I'm with you for the night
Hope you don't mind, if you stay by my side
We can drive in your car, somewhere into the dark
Pull over and watch the stars
We can dance, we can sing, do whatever you think
As long as I'm with you

When we are together its the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we'd like
Spend the weekend dancing 'cause when we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (ah-ah-oh)
We own the night!
We own the night
We own the night

It's all a blur,
It's getting late but I don't care
I don't know where we'll end up
And that's okay

We can drive in your car, somewhere into the dark
Pull over and watch the stars
We can dance, we can sing, do whatever you think
As long as I'm with you

When we are together its the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we'd like
Spend the weekend dancing 'cause when we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (ah-ah-oh)
We own the night!
We own the night
We own the night

Nothing lasts forever
Let's live it up when we're together
Nothing lasts forever
So let's live it up, just do whatever

When we are together its the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we'd like
Spend the weekend dancing 'cause when we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (ah-ah-oh)
We own the night!
We own the night
We own the night

When we are together its the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we'd like
Spend the weekend dancing cause when we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (ah-ah-oh)

(Just do what you like)
(Ah-ah-oh) We own the night!
(Do whatever you like)
(Ah-ah-oh) We own the night!
(Just do what you like)




(Ah-ah-oh) We own the night!
(Do whatever you like)

You left me spinning like a disco
Trying but I don't know
If I can stand straight
You took me left when you knew I was right
Now I got to try to fight just to make it through the day
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up
Baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
You left me broken like a record
Baby, I'm baby I'm hurt and I don't want to play anymore
Missed every sign
Believed ever lie
And I was waiting for more
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up
Baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
You took my heart off my sleeve
But now I'm taking it back
Baby, here I come
You took advantage of me
I don't appreciate that, that
You son of a gun
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere

Now I got to try to fight just to make it through the day

Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this,
But now I'm walking by myself

Trying to make it on my own

I completely agree! After what happened at The Ama's, I saw her on The Kelly Clarkson Show and she told Kelly, " Maybe I can't sing or hit notes like I used to, but I love it, and I'm gonna keep doing it!" Shattered my heart and I was going ~what??? And Kelly, I love her, goes whoa, why would you say that sweetie? And Sel said, " Well, apparently that's what the world thinks of me now according to social media! Kelly told her how amazing she was and to NEVER LISTEN TO THOSE PEOPLE AND LOSE FAITH IN YOURSELF, I WAS SO MAD THAT PEOPLE DID THAT TO HER! This is already too long, I'll leave it with this, I'm a true fan👑, if anyone thinks that Sel can't sing, listen to my go to song~ Rock God, written by Katy Perry and delivered beautifully to us by the amazing Selena!!! It's amazing, if you haven't heard it, I'm excited for you!
