Lyrics for Night Fever

It's Saturday night I'm here on the street corner of a big city in Europe And I'm looking at everyone dressing for Saturday night Oh and that night fever, night fever This is something that we understand inside Oh, night fever, night fever Something we understand inside Can I just love this night without being selfish? Can I love this night and let everyone do their thing And me not judge them on the corner? How they dress, how they are, can I relax and just enjoy this? Night fever, night fever We know how to do it Oh, night fever, night fever We know intuitively how to do this for a long time Oh, must be that night fever that I sense Oh, here I am wanting this night to last I want to dance too in the bars I want to dance too in the clubs Then the night will be mine, just like them Oh, night fever, night fever We intuitively know this Oh, night fever, night fever We know how to show it Oh, in Paris, they know how to do this thing Oh, night fever, night fever We know how to do it, oh indeed Oh, here I am wanting this moment to stay On the street corner in early May With the trees out in the twilight With the trees out in the night Oh, this must be night fever And I can feel it Oh, this must be night fever I still feel this I still feel this Now how can I act not selfishly? The way I felt it when I was nineteen Can I act more... how can I put it?
