Lyrics
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
