lyrics
Please don't talk about love tonight
Please don't talk about sweet love
Please don't talk about being true
And all the trouble we've been through
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans
We had for fixing this broken romance
I want to go where the people dance
I want some action, I wanna live
Action, I got so much to give
I want to give it, I want to get some too
Chorus:
I love the nightlife
I've got to boogie
On the disco round, oh yeah
Oh, I love the nightlife
I've got to boogie
On the disco round, oh yeah
Please don't talk about love tonight
Your sweet talking won't make it right
Love and lies just bring me down
When you've got women all over town
You can love them all and when you're through
Maybe that'll make a man out of you
I got to go where the people dance
I want some action,
I wanna live
Action, I got so much to give
I want to give it; I want to get some too
Repeat Chorus
