What we gonna do here is go back
I can't take the hearbreak of you leaving me again
And I'm not the one I was back then, no, no, no, no
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but I'm not staying home

Night and day (I was patient)
But I've had all I could take (All I can take)

Tonight's the night, the chance is right
Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
Goin' to find a friend to spend the weekend

Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight

Baby, don't see the love 'cause it was never, never here before
You close your eyes and I'm closing the door
One thing I can't take is to sit home all alone
Do what you like, my dear, but you see I'm not stayin' home

'Cause night and day I was patient
But I've had all I could take

Maybe I'll find a friend to spend the weekend
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
I'm goin' to find, to find someone, someone to spend the night, baby

Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
(That's right tonight baby) tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight

But night and day you see baby I was patient
(But I've had all) I've had I could take
Night and day (oh yeah, yeah)
(But I've had all) I've had I could take

Tonight's the night, the chance is right
Maybe I'll find someone, somebody who want my body, baby
(Goin' out, but to dance ain't why)
I'm goin' to find someone to spend the night

Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight (That's right baby is party time)
Tonight is party time, is party time tonight
(T-t-tonight)
(T-t-tonight)
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time
Tonight is party time
