[Verse 1]
A little trouble in the city
Trouble in my home
She told me love don't live here anymore
I wanna run to the light
It's too dark in this part of night
I need somebody who can make it right

[Hook]
And it's on tonight
How about we go and save the night
I can see you want it and so do I
How about we go and save the night
Let's save the night

[Verse 2]
I'm not a one man band
I want to sing a duet
You and me would sound much better
You look so good in my bed
And if your gonna go out
You're gonna go out with a bang
Let's save the night I'll be your superman

[Hook]
And it's on tonight
How about we go and save the night
I can see you want it and so do I
How about we go and save the night
Let's save the night

[Bridge]
I see the night flashing before her eyes
Resuscitating bring it back to life

[Hook]
And it's on tonight
How about we go and save the night
I can see you want it and so do I
How about we go and save the night
Let's save the night

John Legend

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
