The time is now to take my wares to the street
And I know how, the street’s been good to me
Maybe it’s the sign of a wise man
Maybe it’s the sign of a fool
Maybe it’s the night for a rendezvous with a woman like you

It’s gone too far, I’ll take my life into the streets
I feel the need and I can’t stop myself
Maybe it’s time to be a strong man
Maybe it’s time to be cool
Maybe I’ll take to the boulevard
Where there’s nothing I won’t do

Can you tell me where my heart is
When I’m looking for love in the midnight
There’s a burning in my body
And I’m looking for love in the midnight

Better hold on tight, I’m a ravenous man
I’ll tell you anything to make you think I’m alright
You know the moonlight brings out the devil in me
For tomorrow, I’ll regret it in the daylight

Can you tell me where my heart is
When I’m looking for love in the midnight
Won’t you tell me where my heart is
When I’m looking for love

Better hold on tight, I’m a ravenous man
I’ll tell you anything to make you think I’m alright
You know the moonlight brings out the devil in me
For tomorrow, I’ll regret it in the daylight

Can you tell me where my heart is
When I’m looking for love in the midnight
There’s a burning in my body
And I’m looking for love in the midnight
Won’t you tell me where my heart is
When I’m looking for love
