Running with the Night Lyrics

The heart of the city street was beating
Light from the neons turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleeping
We had to get out before the magic got away

We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
'Til the morning light
(we were running)
Oh
(running with the night)

You were looking so good girl
Heads were turning
You and me on the town
Ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us
We were burning
We were gonna go all the way
And we never had a doubt

We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
'Til the morning light
(we were running)
Oh-oh-oh-oh...
(running with the night)
We were so in love you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got
We laid it down
Taking every shot
We took the town

We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
Girl it was so right... so right...
Oh (running with the night)
(oooo-oooo...)
(oooo-oooo...)
(ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Just you and I
(running with the night)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I
Girl it was so right
(we were running)
Girl was so right
(running with the night)
(so right so right...)
So right

Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. He got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times A Lady, and probably the Commodores' most famous hit, Brick House.

Richie quit the band in 1981 for a solo career. He released his self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold over 4 million copies. His follow up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in '84. His third album, '86's Dancing on the Ceiling spawned such hits as Say You, Say Me, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Se La, but would be the end of his commercial success.

His 90's albums such as Back to Front, Louder Than Words, and Time all failed to achieve the previous decade's commercial success. Some of his recent work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, hoping to achieve more success. Read more on Last.fm.
