[Intro]
Hey boy, would you meet me on the roof tonight
I got a surprise for you
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
[Verse 1]
Oh something's got me so excited, baby
A feelin' I've been holdin' back so long
You got me shook up shook down shook out
On your lovin' and boy I can't wait to get started lovin' you
And now that I can feel you comin' closer to me
I'm not runnin'
Oh, may I say
I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to ya
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
[Verse 2]
Oh, something's got me so delighted, baby
I see your face in everything I do
You got me shook up shook down shook up
On your lovin' and boy, there is just no way I'll ever get over you
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
I've waited for your love to come
Up to the roof to show you the proof
It's you that I love, I love
Up on this rooftop I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry up and come
‘Cause I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I can't wait to love you, baby)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I'm gonna give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you, give it to you)
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
(I can't wait to love you, boy)
Ooh-ooh
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you
[Bridge]
Climb up on the ladder, don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
I'm gonna give it to you
All night long
Climb up on the ladder, honey
What I got is better than money
All night long
Come on up, boy, don't be late
What I got for you won't wait
All night long
Ooh-ooh
I'm gonna give it to you
Swee dee dee doo doo ya
Twee dee dee doo doo ya
