Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's [bad word] undone
There's nothin' we can do 

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make [bad word] out right 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
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 goin' on 

This night is gonna last forever
Last all, last all summer long
Sometimes before the [bad word] up
The radio is gonna play that song 

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

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

Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's [bad word] undone
There's nothin' we can do (everybody) 

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make [bad word] out right 

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
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 parkin' lot
But either way there's gonna be a
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight,
I know
Oh, I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
heartache tonight, I know
