[Verse 1: Luther Vandross]
Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking 'round for the warmth of the light
There was fog on the road
So I guess no one saw me arriving
I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home if you want to
Oh

[Chorus: Luther Vandross]
(Searching, searching) For so long
(Searching) Searching
(Searching, searching) I just wanted to dance
(Searching)
(Searching, searching)
Stepped outta the night
It was brighter inside
(Searching)
Someone come and asked me my name
(Searching, searching)
Taken back by surprise
When I saw with my eyes
(Searching)
A girl in love's disguise

[Refrain: Background Singers | Luther Vandross]
She said stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart (Oh)
I haven't got a lot
But play the part (Ooh-ooh)
Mister, stop, stop, stop (Stop)
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours

[Verse 2: Luther Vandross]
Caught the glass as it fell from my hand
Like a child, couldn't quite understand
What was I doing there?
Far away from nowhere, on my own, oh
I was tired and awake for some time
Just the light playing tricks with my mind
Was she there in a crowd?
Was the music too loud?
Was I dreaming?

[Chorus: Luther Vandross]
(Searching, searching) For so long
(Searching) I don't want romance, I just want my chance today
(Searching, searching) Yeah
(Searching)
(Searching, searching)
Just came by here by chance
Only wanted to dance
(Searching)
No news, no bye, no how, no why
(Searching, searching)
Taken back by surprise
What's in front of my eyes
(Searching)
This girl in a love's disguise

[Refrain: Background Singers | Luther Vandross]
She said stop, stop, stop
(Oh, yes, she did, y'all)
Get out your heart (Ooh-ooh)
I haven't got a lot (Oh no)
But play the part
(Hey there) Mister, stop, stop, stop (Yeah)
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff (Ow)
The night is ours

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Luther Vandross]
(Searching, searching) For so long
(Searching) Found someone
(Searching, searching)
(Searching)

[Refrain: Background Singers | Luther Vandross]
She said stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart (Oh, oh)
I haven't got a lot
But play the part
(Hey there) Mister, stop, stop, stop (Alright)
Get out your heart
(Ooh) What I've got's hot stuff (Oh yeah)
The night is ours
(She kept saying) Stop, stop, stop (Yeah)
Get out your heart
(I just can't believe it, I really must be dreaming)
I haven't got a lot
But play the part

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Luther Vandross]
Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking 'round for the warmth of the light
There was fog on the road
So I guess no one saw me arriving
I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home if you want to, oh

[Chorus: Luther Vandross]
(Searching, searching) For so long
(Searching) Ooh-ooh
(Searching, searching) For so long
(Searching)
I just can't believe it, I sure must be dreaming
(Searching, searching)
(Searching) I just wanna dance
(Searching, searching) Yeah, yeah
(Searching)

[Outro: Background Singers | Luther Vandross]
She said stop, stop, stop (Oh)
Get out your heart (Ooh-ooh)
I haven't got a lot (Oh no)
But play the part
(Hey there) Mister, stop, stop, stop (Yeah)
Get out your heart
(Ooh) What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours (Yeah)
She said stop, stop, stop, (Ooh)
Get out your heart
(I just can't believe it, I sure must be dreaming)
I haven't got a lot (Oh)
But play the part (I sure 'nough must be dreaming)
Mister, stop, stop, stop
Get out your heart
