Hold me down

I'm like the one-eyed Jack
My love's blood to the max
Got loving and that's a fact
I can't hold it back
Hold it back

She knows I can't
She's the midnight girl
And I'm a midnight man

My clothes get inside out
Parting's all I know about
My head is feeling light
I got to hold it high
Hold it high, yeah

All across the world
Sounds to fill the night
Voices of friends
So loud, so loud
Loud, yeah

And I'm a midnight man
My head is spinning
Can feel it
Time for us to get wild

Can you feel it
My head is feeling right
I got to hold it high
Hold it high, hold it high

I'm staying up all tonight
Mama believe it
I'm taking a midnight ride
Mama believe it

I've got loving and that's a fact
And I can't hold it back
Hold it back, hold it back

She knows I can't
She's a midnight, midnight girl
And I'm a midnight man
