[Intro: Justin Timberlake]
Yeah, uh, feels good, don't it? Listen, uh

[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
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 'til you feel it again, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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 ’til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
And you got that lil’ something I like
A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow
Tonight the night’s, 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

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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, raise your glass and let’s

[Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Take back the night, take back the night
They gon’ try to shut us down, but 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, oh
Yeah

[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]
Rare, there’s not too many
No one but you and crowded rooms, we can do anything (yeah)
Attraction can drive you crazy
The way you move, you go crazy, that’s incentive for me

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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 ’til later
Stay out here living the life
Nobody cares who we are tomorrow
And you got that lil’ something I like
A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow
Tonight the night’s, 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

[Chorus Justin Timberlake]
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, raise your glass and let’s

[Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake, (Middle 8), and Timbaland]
Break it, break it down now
Break it, break it down now
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Yeah, yeah, oh, uh
(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
Y’all ready to have a good time out there, ladies and gentlemen?
Ladies and gentlemen, JT and the Tennessee kids
Let your hair down, baby
Take back the night, take back the night

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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

[Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake and (Middle 8)]
(And the horns say) alright
(And the horns say) uh
(And the horns say) feels good to me
(And the horns say) alright, ooh
Take it over

Justin Timberlake

Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of the boy band NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

In 2002, Timberlake released his solo debut, Justified, with some help from The Neptunes and Timbaland on production. Timbaland and Timberlake would continue their collaboration on 2006’s FutueSex/LoveSounds, on which Timbaland produced all but two tracks.
