Verse 1:
A Bm
Clocks strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade,

still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away.

I've done alright up 'til now, it's the light of day that shows me how,

and when the night falls, loneliness calls.

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody,

I wanna feel the heat with somebody.

with somebody who loves me.
Verse 2:
A Bm
I've been in love and lost my senses, spinning through the town,
A Bm
soon or later the fever ends, and I wind up feeling down.

I need someone who'll take a chance, on a love that burns hot enough to last.

So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
