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

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
