[Verse 1]
Little darling
Where you've been so long
I've been out here thinking about you
And the feeling's real strong
Well the time has come to celebrate
You and me girl so sounds great

[Chorus]
Because tonight will be alright

[Verse 2]
Little darling, come on
Let's take a ride
To a midnight honey town and set it on fire
We don't want to be mad
But we have to be cool
You and me girl
Let's break all the rules

[Chorus]
Because tonight will be alright

[Verse 3]
Oh my baby, I'm going to say it again
I can see us moving on
Down the highway
I can see us loving
Till our hearts desire
Anything you want to do girl
You just tell me

[Chorus X2]
Because it's alright

[Verse 4]
Little darling, telling you no use
Keep me thinking about you honey
My soul's on fire
Well if you want me girl
And the games I play
Anything's alright, anything you say

[Chorus]
Because tonight will be alright

[Outro]
Alright, baby I'll say it again
Alright[x4] baby
We going to make it alright
You and me baby, alright
Say it all night[repeat until fade]
