Lyrics A Night Like This - Rod Stewart, Bob Ezrin, David Tickle

A Night Like This

Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway
I’m a set designer, my Mum and Dad thinking I’m gay
I’m a lazy bugger, but I like my spart
Like girls and music, I’m happy, happy sort (of a guy)
But there’s one thing I’m lacking, it’s sexual experience
So I ask you, my sweetheart, save me from this wilderness
I’ve dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Where I come from, love is just a hole in the wall
And the steel mills ring out and generations heed the call
And the rain never stops and the skies are grey
And the chance of romance, slim as a bright sunny day
This is partly the reason, I’m so overwhelmed and shy
Because your beauty, by contrast, is gonna make a young man cry
I’ve dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I’ve schemed, honey, of a night like this
You don’t know what it means to a boy from a suburban home
To be left with a woman like you, completely alone
I’ve dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Nice place you’ve got here, babe, never seen a house like this
Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch
ll the guys at the boozer, won’t believe my luck
But it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke (than me)
So here we are, the record’s gotten stuck in the groove
My knees are trembling, c’mon baby, make your move
I’ve dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I’ve schemed, honey, of a night like this
I’ve dreamed, I’ve schemed, honey, of a night like this
I’ve dreamed, honey, of a night like this
