Rhythm of the Night Lyrics by DeBarge

Time Will Reveal: The Complete Motown Albums

1985

[Verse 1: El DeBarge]
When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you going crazy
It's time to get out, step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet
[Pre-Chorus: El DeBarge]
Well, I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath electric stars
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away
You'll be doing fine when the music starts, oh
[Chorus: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Dance until the morning light)
Forget about the worries on your mind
(You can leave them all behind)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah)
[Verse 2: El DeBarge]
Look out on the street now, the party's just beginning
The music's playing, a celebration's starting
Under the street lights the scene is being set
A night for romance, a night you won't forget
[Pre-Chorus: El DeBarge]
So, come join the fun, this ain't no time to be staying home
Ooh, there's too much going on
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long, oh
[Chorus: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Dance until the morning light)
Forget about the worries on your mind
(You can leave them all behind)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: El DeBarge]
Come join the fun, this ain't no time to be staying home
Ooh, there's too much going on
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long, oh
[Chorus: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Dance until the morning light)
Forget about the worries on your mind
(You can leave them all behind)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Dance until the morning light)
Forget about the worries on your mind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh baby, oh darlin')
Forget about the worries on your mind (Oh)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh baby, ooh)
Forget about the worries on your mind (Ooh)
[Outro: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
La, la-la-la (La-la-la-la-la-la)
La, la, la, la, la, la (La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la)
La, la-la-la (The music's playing)
La, la, la (It's a celebration), la, la, la
(The music's playing, everybody dance)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa)
Forget about the worries on your mind
('Cause you can leave them all behind)
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Dance until the morning light)
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa)
