Lyrics

Running With the Night

The heart of the city street was beating
Light from the neons turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleeping

We had to get out before the magic got away
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I 'til the morning light
(We were running) oh-oh
(Running with the night)
You were looking so good girl, heads were turning

You and me on the town, ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us, we were burnin'
We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I 'til the morning light
(We were running) oh-whoa, oh-oh
Why? (Running with the night)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
We were so in love, you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got we laid it down
Taking every shot we took the town
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I girl, it was so right
So right (we were running)
Oh-oh (running with the night)

(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) just you and I, I

Ooh (running with the night), we were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I girl, it was so right
(We were running)
Girl, it was so right (running with the night)

(So right) so right
