[Intro: All]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: All, Luke, Luke & Calum]
(Hey!) Why you actin' like a stranger
(Hey!) When we do this every night?
(Hey!) Can we get a little closer
(Hey!) Even though you're not that type?
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus: All]
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
You only ever wanna love me after midnight
I've never seen you in the daylight
Because you only ever wanna love me after midnight
But it's better than nothin'
[Verse 2: All, Luke & Calum]
(Hey!) Your emotion's under pressure
(Hey!) When I ask for somethin' more
(Hey!) I take the chances that I'm given
(Hey!) 'Cause I'm desperately all yours
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: All, Luke, Luke & Calum]
(Hey!) Why you actin' like a stranger

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
