[Verse 1: Benjamin Orr]
It's not the night for fooling
It's not the night for crazy eyes
I get the feeling you want to stay
I get the feeling you're giving it all away
[Pre-Chorus: Ric Ocasek]
But I know, I know you take it well
And for you, for you I always fell
[Chorus 1: Benjamin Orr]
It's not the night (It's not the night)
For sweet revenge
It's not the night (It's not the night)
To spend
[Verse 2: Benjamin Orr]
The time is right to take it out
The time is right for tango
Got a feeling you're running out
Before your last fandango
[Chorus 2: Benjamin Orr]
It's not the night (It's not the night)
For sweet, sweet revenge
It's not the night (It's not the night)
To spend
[Bridge: Ric Ocasek]
It's not the night for sticky boots
It's not the night for tango
[Verse 3: Benjamin Orr]
I get the feeling you're the spark
That's dancing in the dark
I get the feeling you're the one
Rushing on the run
[Chorus 3: Benjamin Orr]
It's not the night (It's not the night)
For sweet revenge
It's not the night (It's not the night)
To spend
It's not the night (It's not the night)
You're looking for sweet, sweet revenge
It's not the night
It's not the night to end
It's not the night
