Eli “Paperboy” Reed - Nights Like This Lyrics

(Hey hey, oh oh),
Hot on the streets,
Rising off the blacktop,
Headlights twisting the moonlight,
(Hey hey, oh oh),
Feeling the beat of a thousand people passing,
Looking for someone to get right,
(Hey hey, oh oh),
You just gotta let it come,
Let me show you how it's done,
Ain't no use in putting up a fight,
(Hey hey, oh oh),
It don't matter how you try,
You know you can't deny,
You'll be shaking by the city tonight

Hold tight, hold steady,
Keep it right and keep it ready,
Everybody knows, Anything goes,
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How we gonna blow up?
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How you gonna know what's going down?

Sipping on the 6 train,
Buzzing through the city,
Packing us in, now it's a party,
(Hey hey, oh oh),
Come and meet me downtown,
We don't have to slow down,
We can't stop, it's already started,
(Hey hey, oh oh),
You just gotta let it come,
Let me show you how it's done,
Ain't no use in putting up a fight,
(Hey hey, oh oh)
It don't matter how you try,
You know you can't deny,
You'll be shaking by the city tonight,
(Hey hey, oh oh),

Hold tight, hold steady,
Keep it right and keep it ready,
Everybody knows, anything goes,
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How we gonna blow up?
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How you gonna know what's going down?

Hold tight, hold steady,
Keep it right and keep it ready,
Hold tight, hold steady,
Keep it right and keep it ready,
Hold tight, hold steady,
Keep it right and keep it ready,
Everybody knows, anything goes,

Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How we gonna blow up?
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How you gonna know what's-
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How we gonna blow up?
Nights like this,
You better not miss,
If you don't show up,
How you gonna know what's going down,
Nights likes this,
(It's going down!),
Nights like this,
(It's going down!),
Nights like this,
(It's going down!),
Down, down down,
(Hey Hey, oh oh)
