Tina Dickow - Night Out lyrics

She opens up the door to her closet
And lets her hand run through the
Deep end of the rail
It stops at the velvety touch of an old dress
And the memory of the sea she used to sail

Baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out

She throws the dress on over her shoulders
The old zipper cuffs it's way
Up along her spine
She pads a rose berry red on
The apples of her cheeks
And the mirror sends her
Back a stranger's smile

Baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out

There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on, girl
Let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
And open up your door
(It's time, baby, it's time
Open up your door) baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out
Baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out

She hovers at the top of the staircase
The thought of word await's cuts like a knife
And then she hurls herself forwards
Towards the front door
You would think she was running for her life

Baby, it's time, baby, it's time

She freezes with her hand on the handle
As the voice awakes behind her on the couch
She takes a step back into the doorway
And in the light of the TV
She lets him look her up and down

There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it
It's time to take it) so come on, girl
Let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
(Baby, it's time, baby, it's time)
(Open up your door)

"You poor girl", he said (Your poor girl)
To think that anyone is gonna look your way
"You're a lucky girl", he said
(You're a lucky girl)
That you got me and that I've stayed

There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it
It's time to take it) so come on, girl
Let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it
It's time to take it)
So come on, girl, let down your hair
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
(Baby, it's time, baby, it's time)
(Open up your door) baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out
Baby, it's time, baby
It's time for a night out
