With the windows down, on the boulevard shit's disturbing
I got a bad attitude and an appetite for destruction
'Cause you know them boys are all so rude
Then I'ma make a little money like I said that I would
Then I hit the club, gonna tell 'em what's good
Can't behave, said I was gonna try
But the bouncer was a dick, I threw a bottle at the guy
And I'm always looking pretty, always getting jiggy with it
With a peacock vibe I describe when I stunt my
Fur coat with the flow
Everything I need and so
What's the move and where you wanna go?
I'm addicted to the night life
Take me to a late show (Let's go)
What's the move and where you wanna go?
I'm addicted to the night life
Sipping on this soda pop rock
Bumping my new sound system
With the windows down, on the boulevard shit's disturbing, yeah
I got a bad attitude and an appetite for destruction
All the neighbors think we're all so rude
Well I was at another party and I ran into a goof
Dummy boy got drunk and he fell off the roof
Why the hell he did it, I don't think I'll ever know
But we get at least fifteen minutes 'fore the cops show
So let's keep it going on the room, before we set it off like
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick- (BOOM!)
What's the move and where you wanna go?
I'm addicted to the night life
Take me to a late show (Let's go)
What's the move and where you wanna go?
I'm addicted to the night life
Sipping on this soda pop rock
What's the move and where you wanna go?
I'm addicted to the night life
Take me to a late show (Let's go)
What's the move and where you wanna go?
