Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been out here walkin' and talkin' to myself about four hours now
Love is really a hurting thing
(Hey man, what's happenin'?)
Hey brother, what's going on? It's alright
He's got his woman over there
(Hey, how's he doin'? You okay?)
But mine's at home
What time is it?
Damn, almost 12:45
I think I'm gon' walk up here and see what's goin' on, I'ma hit this discotech
There's always something going on in there
What becomes of a broken hearted?
Oh, baby
Oh, this looks like the place
Everybody's goin' in, step on up here
One ticket, please
Lord have mercy, everybody's here
(Hey, what's goin' on, man? Yeah, she's at home)
Yeah, she's at home, yeah, she's at home
[Verse 2]
Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Yeah, right here, right here where I'm gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
[Verse 3]
I'm out here dancing and still, huh
I can't erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
See, it like it's no longer there
I, I've got to hide what's killin' me inside
[Verse 4]
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Yeah, right here, right here's where I'm gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
Oh, let it play on, play it on, let it play on and on and on and on and on
[Verse 5]
I think I'm gonna be alright, ha ha ha
If I can make it through the night, oh, Lord
I'll just pretend she's here with me
I close my eyes, her face I'll see, won't somebody help me?
I know it's make believe, but it's the only hope for me
[Verse 6]
Let the music play
Oh, I just wanna dance the night away
Yeah, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh
Let the music play on
Yeah, until I feel this misery is gone
Oh, movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
Oh, let it play
[Verse 7]
Baby, you oughta see me now
And then you'd know that it's only you that I love
I'm not out here lookin' for a one-night affair
It is just that I'm, that I'm so hurt inside
But all I wanna do is just dance, dance, dance
[Verse 8]
Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Ah, yeah, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
Let it play on
Let it play on
Let it play on
Please let it play on
Let it play on
