[Verse 1]
I can't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tomorrow
I'm going deep and tight
I don't need no excuse
I feel mean tonight
One-eyed jacks and aces
Read 'em and weep tonight
I'm going to let all hell break loose

[Chorus 1]
I want drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who could shake me
Yeah, be my love machine

[Verse 2]
I need a love machine
To keep my motor running
Upon the big wide screen
I want to see it all
Yeah, we'll be lean and mean
We'll be synchronized together
Me and my love machine
We're going to do it all

[Chorus 1]
I want drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who can rock me
Yeah, my little love machine

[Verse 3]
We're going to make tonight
A night to remember
We're going hard and strong
Again and again
Yeah, we're going to make tonight
A night to remember
Yeah we're going to take tonight
Right to the end

[Chorus 1]
I need drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who can rock me
I need a love machine

[Chorus 2]
We got to make tonight
A night to remember
We're goin' hard and strong
Again and again

[Bridge]
Yeah, we're going to make tonight
A night to remember
Yeah we're going for a night
A night without end

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
We're going to make tonight
A night to remember
Yeah we're going to take tonight
Right to the end

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
