Terry Todd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take the hearbreak of you leaving me again
And I'm not the one I was back then, no, no, no, no
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but I'm not staying home
Night and day (I was patient)
But I've had all I could take (All I can take)
Tonight's the night, the chance is right
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
Goin' to find a friend to spend the weekend
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Baby, don't see the love 'cause it was never, never here before
You close your eyes and I'm closing the door
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but you see I'm not stayin' home
'Cause night and day I was patient
But I've had all I could take
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
I'm goin' to find, to find someone, someone to spend the night, baby
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
(That's right tonight baby) tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
But night and day you see baby I was patient
(But I've had all) I've had I could take
Night and day (oh yeah, yeah)
(But I've had all) I've had I could take
Tonight's the night, the chance is right
Maybe I'll find someone, somebody who want my body, baby
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
I'm goin' to find someone to spend the night
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight (That's right baby is party time)
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
(T-t-tonight)
(T-t-tonight)
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time

New York House!!
“Hip-Hop House”
Todd Terry is king!
They always bumped
Todd’s Tracks at
Lime Light, The Palladium,
The Devil’s Nest, The Tunnel and Studio 54!
80’s NYC clubs and music was the best! They played Freestyle and what was new at the time house music! First house track I ever heard was Chicago’s
House song by Marshall Jefferson “Move Your Body”
Then Todd and Royal House and many NYC producers added that hard NYC hip-hop vibe that we have!!
Todd is King!
