Lyrics:
I spend the night
Yeah looking for my insides in a hotel room
Waiting for you
Were gonna make it tonight
Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right
So we'd better get it on
And DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Don't wanna wait
Lord I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared
Can't you see
I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
I ain't Got a Ticket for this ride but I will
Ooh, play a song for the Lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for the Lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for the Lovers, tonight
Please play a song for the Lovers, tonight
Can't stop looking back no no
One more for the lovers
Oh brother won't you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this trains gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend
I don't want to get up
