About the Artist
Lyrics
The night is good when you feel like a child And when people tell us we need to straighten out I'm gonna walk right across this town Yelling your name and I'll wait for you to come on down Have you had yourself a good time for a while lately now I just can't understand what you're so worried about You're goin' to the party by the end of tonight There's gonna be dancing and there's gonna be a fight Guess who's gonna be there for you When you're too drunk to know what the heck ya doin' I'm right here to carry you on home And it won't be long Gotta take me home now, I know you ain't drinking water You gotta take me back cause I'm still somebody's daughter, alright You're goin' to the party by the end of tonight There's gonna be dancing and there's gonna be a fight
