Somebody's gonna hurt someone 
Before the night is through 
Somebody's gonna come undone 
There's nothing we can do 

Everybody wants to touch somebody 
If it takes all night 
Everybody wants to take a little chance 
Make it come out right 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
Lord, I know 

Some people like to stay out late 
Some folks can't hold out that long 
But nobody wants to go home now 
There's too much going on 

This night is gonna last forever 
Last all, last all summer long 
Some time before the sun comes up 
The radio is gonna play that song 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
Lord, I know 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
The moon's shining bright 
So turn out the light 
And we'll get it right 
There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
Heartache, baby 

Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody) 
Before the night is through 
Somebody's gonna come undone 
There's nothing we can do 

(Everybody) 
Everybody wants to touch somebody 
If it takes all night 
Everybody wants to take a little chance 
And make it come out right 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know, let's go 

We can beat around the bushes 
We can get down to the bone 
We can leave it in the parking lot 
But either way 
There's gonna be a heartache tonight 
Heartache tonight, I know 

Oh, I know 
There'll be a heartache tonight 
A heartache tonight, I know 
Woo, oooh 

Break my heart
