I�m rockin� tonite--i�m walkin� on air
Gonna find me some trouble--gonna grab my share
I want ya tonite--i want ya with me
Make me guilty of love in the first degree


(you want it all right)...we�re goin� in style
Say you walk right--you talk right--and your hair�s so wild
(snow-white)--hey that�s not what I mean
We go down in the shadows and crawl between


Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes
Freezin� a moment--leave me paralyzed
Breathe an emotion--set it dancin� in my ear
Bring on the rhythm when I hold you near


Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite


(you do it all right)--you�re passion to see
You been schooled in the arts of romancin� me
(hold tight)--you�re in for a ride
Can you feel the blood poundin� way down inside


--no one�s stoppin� us now--
We go down, down where the music�s loud
(if it�s all night)--hey that�s all right by me
Go and play on my love--play it all for me


Life�s never easy--we can make it if we try
Takin� our chances--fac�em side by side
Live for the moment--on that we can agree
Come and take me where I long to be


Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite


A time for all...and all in time
A step beyond the borderline
Of who we are and where we long to be...
When every night you hear the sound
Of wakin� up and breakin� down
You find a chance and heave it all away


Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

    General Comment:You know, for a short time, Billy Squier was about as good as it go.
    And for all the songs clearly celebrating one night stands, this one may be the best.
    This may be way serious analysis, but the entire song, he's speaking to his partner, rather than simply yapping about getting off. I mean, in the context of a one-night stand, this is actually romantic.
    Always liked the song, never took the time to get all the lyrics. Makes me like it more.

    General Comment:This song is so totally 80's. I remember in high school my boyfriend at the time would "act out" part of this video when he was "crawling between". Every time I hear this song it brings back memories that make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
