Kid out of touch
Laying down with a dream
On a runaway night
Got a feel for the scene
A girl with lots of tricks
Like to lay them on me
I'd forgotten what it's like
To be seventeen

Well I say fast
She say slow
And so the story goes
She say stop
And I say go, and go, and go, and wow
This boy needs to rock

Tonight, tonight, tonight
This boy needs to rock
(x3) Tonight, tonight, tonight
I need to rock

Up real late
Trading money for kicks
She got all of the moves
I got all of the licks
She can tear at my heart
I'm always begging for more
She can cut me real deep
She can take me real far

Well, I say fast
She say slow
And so the story goes
She say stop
And I say go, and go, and go, and wow
This boy needs to rock

Tonight, tonight, tonight
This boy needs to rock
