Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through,
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do.

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night,
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A Heartache tonight, I know, Yes, I know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
Nobody wants to go home now.
There's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.
It Might, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know. Yes, I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight I know.

Somebody's gonna hurt someone,
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can do.

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know, So Let's go.

We can beat around the bushes;
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
But either way, we're goin'.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight I know.
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know...
