Rhythm of the Night Lyrics by DeBarge

When I was eating “linner” at EVK today at about 5pm, they played this song. It’s really catchy! I looked it up when I came back to my room. Here’s an awesome music video of the song (1985). Continue reading for the lyrics.

When it feels like the world is on your shoulders,

And all of the madness has got you going crazy,
It’s time to get out, step out into the street,

Where all of the action is right there at your feet.
Well, I know a place where we can dance all night away,

Underneath electric stars.
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away.

You’ll be doing fine when the music starts.
Oh, to the beat of the rhythm of the night,
dance until the morning light.
Forget about the worries on your mind;
you can leave them all behind.

To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, the rhythm of the night
Oh yeah.
Look out on the street now,
The party’s just beginning,
The music’s playing
A celebration’s starting.
Under the street lights the scene is being set

A night for romance
a night you won’t forget.
So, come join the fun.
This ain’t no time to be staying home

Oh, there’s too much going on.
Tonight is gonna be a night like you’ve never known;
We’re gonna have a good time the whole night long!
Oh, to the beat of the rhythm of the night,
Dance until the morning light. . . .
Come join the fun
This ain’t no time to be staying home. …
To the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Dance until the morning light.
Forget about the worries on your mind;
You can leave them all behind.
To the beat of the rhythm of the night,
Dance until the morning light.
Forget about the worries on your mind.
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh baby
I’m crying.
Forget about the worries on your mind.
To the beat of the rhythm of the night!
Oh baby

Forget about the worries on your mind.
La la la la …
The music’s playing
It’s a celebration
The music’s playing

Everybody dance!
To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Forget about the worries on your mind;
’cause you can leave them all behind.
To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Dance until the morning light …
