Lyrics
I was breathing in and out of time
I feel the blood trip through my veins
My heart skipped a beat when I saw you shine
And the room went spinning round
I don't know if I can change the wrong to right
Oh, I better give you my heart tonight
Circumstances shake our own control
But timing fell down on our side
A chance to make ourselves a better life
Rise above all of love's crimes
And I hope that it gets you by
And I hope that it takes you high
I don't know if I can make it through tonight
Oh, I better give you my heart tonight
I don't want to turn out this revealing light
Oh, I better give you my heart tonight, hey tonight
Yeah, you where so outrageous
Your love was so contagious
I need to get inside to rise above the darkened sky
Of all the wasted time before, I won't let love walk out the door
I don't know if we can make it through tonight
Oh, I better give you my heart tonight
I don't want to turn out this revealing light
Oh, so I gotta give it all tonight
Oh tonight
Oh tonight
