Dancing in the dark
Playing with my heart
Oooooooooohhhhh baby
Taking me to higher places

Dancing in dark
Tear my world apart
Oooooooooohhhhh Baby
Watch you play on sold out stages

It was my summer of love
Back from tour overseas
Rocking every city, Euro trip fantasy
Home for some R'n'R, moving in slow motion
On the phone with the label talking album promotion
Big things is in the plans
Flights booked for the fam
Headed to New York with my suitcase in hand
Birthplace of hip hop
Check 1, 2, you don't stop
Nas, Tribe Called Quest, KRS and Scott La Rock
That's when I seen her
In Time's Square, another dreamer
So beautiful she stood out through the sea of all these people
The universe stopped
Eyes met like lightning struck
I said, Excuse me, miss
She's like, You feel that too?
Yeah, most definitely
Can we explore what it means?
I'm only here for the weekend, though, I gotta come clean
She told me things like this rarely happen in life
cnd when God gives you opportunities, you must strike

If all we have's tonight
Gonna do it right
Gonna take my time

If all we have's tonight
Gonna do it right
Gonna take my time

N-Y-C, summer time breeze
We walking through Manhattan, shortie, tell me everything
Sun, moon rising, we began to realize that
We've been preparing all our lives for this cosmic alignment
Held her close in Central Park as the day turned to night
Make this last forever, nothing's ever felt so right
Word up, I found myself a winner
Discussing music and all our favourite MCs over dinner
Hopeless romantics underneath the skyscrapers
cmongst the city lights and the places that life takes us
Love at first sight, we ran all them bases
Had too many lonely nights not to fully embrace this
cin't gonna stress the rest
Let's just say we far from basic
She give it away, throw it back and let me taste it
Relationships always failed in the past
But this right here so different, baby, we can make it last

If all we have's tonight
Gonna do it right
Gonna take my time

If all we have's tonight
Gonna do it right
Gonna take my time

Dancing in the dark
Playing with my heart
Oooooooooohhhhh, baby
Taking me to higher places

Dancing in dark
Tear my world apart
Oooooooooohhhhh, baby
Watch you play on sold out stages
