  • Baby I know you're outside
    In here it's warm and dry
    Got feelings that I've got to try expressing
    Like a language that I share with you
    Let's talk in the special way we do
    Don't wanna be anywhere else but here with you
    Feels so good

    Day and night, day and night
    You blow my mind, blow my mind
    And I can't help, help myself at all
    I can't hold back
    Day and night, day and night
    You blow my mind, blow my mind
    And I can't help, help myself from falling
    So I'm waiting for the night

    Baby I know it's late
    We've got decisions to make
    Think of what we could create together
    And with you, I am never afraid
    To play with the highest stakes
    Nobody could break my rapture

    Day and night, day and night
    You blow my mind, blow my mind (blow my mind)
    And I can't help, help myself at all
    I can't hold back
    Day and night, day and night
    You blow my mind, blow my mind (yeah yeah)
    And I can't help, help myself from falling
    So I'm waiting for the night

    I can't control it in the night, night, night
    It's when I've got you on my mind, mind, mind
    'Cause you're the twinkle in my eye, eye, eye
    I gotta get you in my life, life, life
    Can't think of nothing worse than being lonely
    I think you're the right choice, my one and only
    We're running out of time, so baby hold me
    Days go by

    Day and night, day and night (day and night)
    You blow my mind, blow my mind (you blow my mind)
    And I can't help, help myself at all (can't help myself at all)
    I can't hold back
    Day and night, day and night (day and night)
    You blow my mind, blow my mind (blow my mind)
    And I can't help, help myself from falling (I can't help myself)
    So I'm waiting for the night

    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    So I'm waiting for the night
    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
    So I'm waiting for the night

    Yeah, I really wanna see you
    I really wanna see you tonight, ah
    Yeah, I really wanna see you
    I really wanna see you tonight, ah

    Don't keep me waiting waiting, don't keep me waiting for the night
    (Don't keep me waiting waiting, waiting for the night)
    Don't keep me waiting waiting, don't keep me waiting for the night
    (Don't keep me waiting waiting, waiting for the night)
    Waiting for the night
    Waiting for the night
    Waiting for the night
    Waiting for the night
    Waiting for the night
