Give Me Your Heart Tonight
Shakin' Stevens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh-hoh tonight
I'm walking the streets again
Running away
From all of my tears and friends
Oh-hoh tonight
The stars are in darkened sky
They don't hold all our life
I can see in your lonely eyes
'Cause I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight

Too young
Too young to start selling down
I'm getting too old
To wanna keep running around
Oh-hoh your love
Is something I don't wanna miss
And I follow
Is leading on a one night kiss

'Cause I'm not crying without out reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changing of the season
Give me your heart tonight

'Cause I'm not waiting for a secret
I don't wanna hear a lie
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Give me your heart tonight

I'm not crying without out reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changing of the season
Give me your heart tonight

I'm not crying without out reason
I'm not asking what is right
Just like the changing of the season
Give me your heart tonight

Ohhhhh, Ohhh, Ohhhhh




Give me your heart tonight
Ohhhhh
