Boogie nights, whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Come on New York

[All Night Long]

[Verse 1]
Something's got me so excited baby
A feeling I've been holding back so long
You got me shook up, shook down, shook out
On your loving
And boy, I can't wait to get started loving you

[Pre-Chorus]
All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
And for this loving, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry I said, cause I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to ya

[Chorus]
All night long
I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
I can't wait to love you, baby

I'm gonna give it to ya
I'm gonna give it to ya

[Verse 2]
Oh, something's got me so delighted baby
I see your face in everything I do
You've got me, shook up, shook down, shook out
On your lovin'
And boy, there is just no way, I'll ever, get over you

[Pre-Chorus]
All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
Up on this rooftop, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry up I said, 'cause I can't wait to get it on

[Chorus]
All night long
I can't wait to love you, baby
All night long
I wanna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
Come on up boy, don't be late
What I got for you won't wait
All night long
Climb up on the rooftop, don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top...

[Interlude]
Hey, ha, what'cha say, hey, hey, come on
Ha, and it, what, and it don't stop
Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Let it get into you
Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Funkin' for Jamaica
Can you feel it?
Ooh, ooh, let it get into you
'Cause I feel the funk deep down in my soul
Funkin' for Jamaica

[Chorus]
All night long
I wanna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
I can't wait to love you, baby

[Outro]
I'm gonna give it to ya
Sweebe-do-be-do-do do-ya
Sweebe-do-be-do-do do-ya
Alright, alright, thank you, thank you
