Somebody`s gonna hurt someone before the night is through.
Somebody`s gonna come undone; there`s nothin` we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance, make it come out right
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
Lord, I know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can`t hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now; there`s too much goin` on

This night is gonna last forever. Last all, last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up the radio is gonna play that song
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
Lord, I know.

There`s gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon`s shinin` bright, so turn out the light, and we`ll get it right
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache to night, I know

Somebody`s gonna hurt someone (somebody) before the night is through
Somebody`s gonna come undone; there`s nothin` we can do (everybody)
Everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance, make it come out right
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
Let`s go.

We can beat around the bushes; we can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin` lot, but either way
There`s gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know

There`ll be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
