[Verse 1]
Ow
Tonight a little dancer came dancin' at my door (oh)
Tonight a little dancer was pumping at my floor (ooh)
For what you want, baby, what you want so much
You know little angel has a touch too much

[Chorus]
Because
In the midnight hour, she cries more, more, more (wow)
With a rebel yell more, more, more, wow!
In the midnight hour, she cries more, more, more (whoa)
With a rebel yell she cries more, more, more

[Verse 2]
Don't you know, little angel
You know you reap what you sow
I know you're not sweatin'
You're blowin' hot and cold (ooh)
Your itchin' lips have their limits [?]
For a love stranger
Oh, no, you ain't dreamin'
I won't go no further
Let me go[?]

[Chorus]
In the midnight hour, babe, she cries more, more, more (ooh)
With a rebel yell she cries more, more, more ow!
In the midnight hour, babe, she cries more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cries more, more, more

He lives in his own heaven
Collects his goods [?]

Just as long, just as long it don't mess up his hair

[Bridge]
Rowar!
Ooo!

In vain, little angel, in vain, all in vain[?]
Trouble [?] lover [?] pain
You know that there's something more in heaven than in hell
Come on, little baby, come on [?]
Tonight, little angel, you were dancin' on the floor
Oh, yeah, little baby, ask [?]
Oh, yeah, little baby, [?] for lovers like you and me
Oh You know where you should be
And that's right by me

[Chorus]
In the midnight hour, she cries more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cries more, more, more (ooh)
In the midnight hour babe you cry more, more, more (oh)
With a rebel yell you cry more, more, more

More, more, more
More, more, more! Wow!
Come on, little angel
More, more, more
Come on, little angel
More, more, more

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
