[Boulton/Gwilym/Marsh] Same old story, only the faces change About a young boy, too tough to fall for love On the street he's in command He stares in fascination Black lace, black leather Such a lethal combination [Bridge] Bad habit, now a vice She's cooler than a Bud on ice Cruising to the backbeat Halfway to paradise [Chorus] 1000 Nights (1000 nights) Making out like we don't care 1000 nights (1000 nights) 1000 nights (1000 nights) Like a one night love affair 1000 nights (1000 nights) And the nights go on forever He was raised tough, and tough was good enough He never had time to give love a fighting chance Too long on the borderline to protect him from temptation Black lace black leather Such a lethal combination [Bridge] [Chorus] [Solo] [Chorus]
