  • Keith Urban, Mister Worldwide
    They say life is short
    So, I'ma live it up
    Tonight it's going down
    'Til the sun comes up

    Two a.m. and I'm about to lose my mind
    The way she's moving that black dress
    Like her hips are on fire
    There in the headlights
    Dancin' like she's in a movie scene
    To die for and it's killin' me
    Stars are out
    But they're fadin' fast
    Gotta make it last
    And I'm so close to heaven
    So, just hold your light
    'Cause I need the night

    Sun don't let me down
    She's almost in my arms right now
    I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
    But I need the moonlight to do my thing
    Sun don't let me down
    (Sun don't let me down)
    Don't let me down
    (Sun don't let me down)

    Hey, don't get me wrong
    I like the way you shine
    I know you love kissin' on her skin
    But it's my turn tonight
    Starin' at her lips
    Playin' with my name
    Whispering, come to me
    She's pulling me in
    Like I'm on a chain

    Stars are out
    Yeah, they're in the sky
    Like they're in her eyes
    I think I found my heaven
    But just have a heart
    Stay where you are

    Sun don't let me down
    She's almost in my arms right now
    I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
    But I need the moonlight to do my thing
    Sun don't let me down
    (Sun don't let me down)
    Don't let me down, don't let me down
    (Sun don't let me down)

    Life is short so I'm livin' it up
    Tonight it's goin' down, yeah, 'til the sun comes up
    Then we do it all again, 'cause we ain't givin' a wha
    And all the women at the party givin' it up
    Time is money and I ain't wastin' no time
    So, fill my cup up with Voli, water and lime
    Take a shot for the soldiers in the field
    Thanks for the freedom and that's for real
    Tonight we're getting hammered, banged-up and tanked
    That means get off the chain, let loose and drank
    Mommy wanna play the adult version of Truth-or-Dare
    So, I took her to the back and pulled her hair, yeah

    Sun don't let me down
    She's almost in my arms right now
    I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
    But I need the moonlight to do my thing
    Sun don't let me down
    (Sun don't let me down)
    She's almost in my arms right now
    I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
    But I need the moonlight to do my thing
    Sun don't let me down, no, oh
    Don't let me down
    Don't let me down (sun don't, sun don't)
    Don't come around
    Stay underground
    No, no, don't let me down
