I'm young enough to see the passionate boy that I used to be But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives But right now I just want to take what I can get tonight While the night is still young I want to keep making love to you While the night is still young I'd like to settle down Gettin' married and maybe have a child someday I can see a time coming when I'm gonna throw my suitcase out No more separations Where you have to say goodnight to a telephone Baby I've decided that ain't what this life is all about Oh While the night is still young While I keep making love to you While the night is still young I want to try to make the world brand new While the night is still young Rock and Roll music was the only thing I Ever gave a damn about There was something that was missing But I never used to wonder why Now I know you're the one Who's gonna make things right again And I may lose the battle But you're giving me the will to try Oh While the night is still young Because the night is still young I've got a lot of catching up I've got to do While the night is still young While the night is still young Oh While the night is still young I want to try to make the world brand new While the night is still young I wanna keep making love to you While the night is still young While the night is still young While the night is still young
