In the heat of the city at night,
There's a race for the trophy of love.
You reach out for a fast reaction,
But something is never enough.
All alone when the lights go down,
A feeling that's hard to shake.
You head out just to give it a treat,
A habit that's hard to break.
But we could take a chance on this romance.
Cause you look so fine and I'll make you mine
If I only had a chance...
You've gotta take me higher,
Tell me that it's worth the fight.
Cause I'm on fire, tonight.
Turn around there's a new diminution,
Spreading by the wink of an eye.
But you move straight on to another one,
Before you even say goodbye.
I know that your mind is telling,
You to get it out of your way.
Still your heart can take, there's no use to fake,
All that you want to say.
But we could take a chance on this romance.
Cause you look so fine and I'll make you mine
If I only had a chance...
You've gotta take me higher,
Tell me that it's worth the fight.
Cause I'm on fire, tonight.
Tonight!
There's a heart so higher in your way,
So let's get things done and we could be one,
Before the break of day...
You've gotta take me higher, yea
You gotta take me higher
You've gotta take me higher,
Tell me that it's worth the fight.
Cause I'm on fire, tonight.
Oh, tonight!
