Yeah, uh!
Feels good, don't it?
Listen, uh!

Yeah, this was your city,
You did it all and more,
Broke every law except for one, babe!
Attraction, are you ready?
I know you feel it,
Pull you nearer till you feel it again, oh!

I wanna do something right,
But we can do something better,
Ain't no time like tonight,
And we ain't trying to save it till later,
Stay out here, living the life,
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow,
You got that lil' something I like,
A little something I've been wanting to borrow.

Tonight the night, come on, surrender!
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah!
Your love's a weapon,
Give your body some direction,
That's my aim,
Then, we could...

Take back the night!
Come on, use me up until there's nothing left.
Take back the night!
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can't catch your breath.
Take back the night!
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next,
Take back the night!
So if the feeling's right, then raise your glass and let's
Take back the night!
Take back the night!
They gon' try to shut us down,
I'll be damned if we gon' let them.
Take back the night!
Take back the night!
You know, you gon' mess around and find out there ain't no one better,
Take back the night!

Rare, there's not too many,
No one but you and crowded rooms,
We can do anything.
Attraction can drive you crazy,
The way you move, you go crazy,
That's incentive for me.

I wanna do something right,
But we can do something better,
Ain't no time like tonight,
And we ain't trying to save it till later,
Stay out here, living the life,
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow,
You got that lil' something I like,
A little something I've been wanting to borrow.

Tonight the night, come on, surrender!
I won't lead your love astray, astray, yeah!
Your love's a weapon,
Give your body some direction,

Come on, use me up until there's nothing left.
Take back the night!
Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can't catch your breath.
Take back the night!
Ooh, don't know when the sun is rising next,
Take back the night!
So if the feeling's right, then raise your glass and let's
Take back the night!
Take back the night!
They gon' try to shut us down,
I'll be damned if we gon' let them.
Take back the night!
Take back the night!
You know, you gon' mess around and find out there ain't no one better,
Take back the night!

And the horns say, alright!
And the horns say, alright!
Uh, ooh, and the horns say, alright!
And the horns say,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!
Take it over!
Yeah, yeah!

[Timbaland:]
Y'all ready to have a good time out there, ladies and gentlemen?

Take back the night!
Take back the night!
Take back the night!
Ooh, we don't know when the sun is rising next,
Take back the night!
So if the feeling's right, then raise your glass and let's
Take back the night!

And the horns say,
And the horns say...
Feels good to me.
And the horns say,
It's taking over.
