"Come On Out Tonight" lyrics

"Come On Out Tonight"

Well, you got some tips
And you learned some licks
You want to try and teach
This old dog a new trick, huh?

Well, you told your friends
You'd have a little bit of fun
You want to walk on up now
To number one, huh?

You ask me if I'd like to dine
Do you have enough courage?
Have you had enough wine
Sunshine?

Keep your head up
Don't you sweat in the spotlight
You're comin' out tonight, yeah
You're comin' out tonight

Take a good hard look
At this big star view
Don't be bitin' off more
Than you're ever gonna chew, yeah

You can break the rules
When you play in the dark
But every wild fire comes
From a little bitty spark, yeah

Does your Mama know
Who you're hangin' around?
A souped up punk in a rock 'n' roll gown
Huh, Small-town

Keep your head up
Don't you sweat in the spotlight
You're comin' out tonight, yeah
Come on out tonight, yeah, yeah
Come on out tonight, yeah, oh
Come on out tonight, yeah
Come on out tonight

(Are you ready)
(For your big premier?)
(Your people think)
(You're acting sort of queer)
Hey, come over here

Tell your friends
That you won't be home
You got a tiger by the tail
And a tiger on the phone, yeah

You're looking sharp
You got the right location
Everybody's ready for the next sensation
Your reputation

Keep your head up
Don't you sweat in the spotlight
Keep your head up
Don't you sweat in the spotlight now
Keep your head up
Don't you sweat in the spotlight
You're comin' out tonight
Come on out tonight, yeah, yeah
Come on out tonight, yeah
Come on out tonight
Come on out tonight
Yeah, ah

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Come on out tonight, yeah, oh
Come on out tonight, yeah
Come on out tonight, yeah, oh
Come on out tonight
Come on out tonight
