You can reach, but you can't grab it
You can't hold it, control it, you can't bag it
You can push, but you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, you cannot connect it

You get confused, but you know it
Yeah you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it
Let go, let's go, discotheque
Go go, let go, discotheque

Looking for the one, but you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song, the song that you hear in your head

Love
It's not a trick...you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's OK, cause you can't earn it
You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff
Let go, let's go, discotheque
Go go, let go, discotheque
Looking for the one, but you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song, the song that you hear in your head Love
But you take what you can get, cause it's all that you can find
Oh you know there's something more, but tonight, tonight, tonight
