She's driving away with the dim lights on
And she's making a play, she can't go wrong
She never waits too long

She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire, she's my one desire

I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, "Let's go
I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "Let's go"

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She never likes to choose

She's got wonderful eyes and a risqué mouth
And when I asked her before she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire, she's my one desire

I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, "Let's go"
I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "Let's go"

"I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "I like the nightlife baby"
She says, "Let's go"
