I'm young enough to still see
the passionate boy that I used to be
But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side
I know we got to work real hard

maybe even for the rest of our lives
But right now I just want to take what I can get tonight
While the night is still young
I want to keep making love to you
while the night is still young

I'd like to settle down

get married and maybe have a child someday
I can see a time coming
when I'm gonna throw my suitcase out
No more separations
where you have to say goodnight to a telephone
Baby I've decided that ain't what this life is all about
oh
While the night is still young
while the night is still young
I want to try and make the world brand new
while the night is still young

Rock and roll music is the only thing I ever gave a damn about
There was something that was missing
but I never used to wonder why
Now I know you're the one I need to make things right again
And I may lose the battle
but you're giving me the will to try
oh
While the night is still young

because the night is still young
I've got a lot of catching up I've got to do
while the night is still young
While the night is still young
I want to try and make the world brand new
while the night is still young
