[Verse 1]
|
When the night falls
|
She hear the call of the street life
|
See the flicker of the street lights
|
Wanna know what it be like, when it be right... there.
|
Black lipstick, tattoos of the peace sign
|
That's the mark of the beast sign
|
Oh night, please be kind
|
Baby girl has no... fears.
|
Tight clothing... blowing cigarette smoke in slow motion
|
All full of love potion but its frozen
|
Thinks the world¢„s so insincere
|
Now she dancing with strangers
|
Which she don¢„t know they name of
|
The city has claimed her but she doesn't care
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
What you want want
|
What you want want
|
Come and get it get it
|
What you want want
|
What you want want want
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
When the night falls
|
She hear the call of the bright life
|
See the shine in the spotlights
|
Wanna know what that like when it be right... there.
|
White liar put her name in their headlines
|
Naked pictures on her website
|
Just a rabbit in the headlights
|
Baby girl don¢„t you be ... scared
|
Red carpet on the arms of an artist
|
Is starlit on the star-less paparazzi target
|
Thinks being normal¢„s just so unfair
|
She knows that its dangerous, she wants to be famous
|
But she¢„s not ashamed 'cause it ain¢„t nothing there
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
When the day comes
|
And they looking far away from where they came from
|
See the night has betrayed them told em it would stay young
|
Told them they would stay young
|
Now they see the sun
|
The nightA¢„s on the run right before the rise
|
Black mascara¢„s running from their eyes
|
But big girls don¢„t cry
|
It¢„ll be alright
|
It¢„ll be tonight (tonight)
|
They¢„ll cut back on the lies.
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
