Burn Down the Night Lyrics by The Pointer Sisters

Contact

1985

[Intro]
Burn down the night
I wanna stay up all night
Everything's fine
I'm leaving the past behind me
[Verse 1]
There was once a time
When I needed you
Now that time is gone
And boy I feel so free from you
Love is history
Since you've closed the door
Maybe someday I will find what I am searching for
(Searchin', searchin', searchin' for)
Right now I'm gonna
[Chorus]
Burn down the night
I wanna stay up all night
Everything's fine
I'm leaving the past behind me
Burn down the night
Don't wanna be sad no more
Burn down the night
I'm gonna feel good for sure
[Verse 2]
You come back to me
On your bended knee
Asking if I want to join your dance of destiny
But the song I hear
Ain't on your radio
It's a fire burnin' hot tonight inside my soul
(Burnin', burnin' inside my soul)
I've got to
[Chorus]
Burn down the night (Oh yeah)
I wanna stay up all night
Everything's fine
I'm leaving the past behind me (I'm gonna burn, burn)
Burn down the night (Oh yeah)
Don't wanna be sad no more (No more, no more)
Burn down the night
I'm gonna feel good for sure
[Bridge]
For the blues (For the blues)
I've got this remedy (A remedy)
A special cure I use
I burn it up until I feel so free, so free, yeah
Woo
[Outro]
Burn down the night
I wanna stay up all night
(I wanna stay up all night)
Everything's fine (Yeah)
I'm leaving the past behind me
(I'm gonna leave it all behind)
Burn down the night (Woo)
Don't wanna be sad no more
(I don't wanna be sad no more)
Burn down the night
I'm gonna feel good for sure
(Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, yeah)
Burn down the night (Wow)
I wanna stay up all night (Oh yeah)
Everything's fine
I'm leaving the past behind me
(I'm gonna leave the past behind, yeah)
Burn down the night (Whoa)
Don't wanna be sad no more
(I don't wanna be sad no more)
Burn down the night
I'm gonna feel good for sure
(I just gotta feel good)
Burn down the night
