My mama said, “something good happens
when it’s late and you’re dancing alone.”
She’s in my head sayin’, “go find the magic
where the music wants to take you.”
This is what I wanted, this is what I like.
I’ve played it so, so cool for a long time
But maybe I like dancin’, with someone by my side
Can’t slow the music down even if I tried.
Cuz after midnight,
I’m feeling kinda dreamy maybe it’s the strobe lights.
I kinda wanna sing my heart out if you don’t mind.
I love a little sparkle… under the starlight.
Cuz everything good happens
After midnight,
I’m feeling kinda dreamy, maybe it’s the moonlight.
I kinda wanna take a minute if you don’t mind.
I love a little cuppa, let’s watch the sunrise
Cuz everything good happens after…
I really want… this night in my memory.
And slow dance, maybe stay up ’til dawn.
That’s my type of fun, that’s my kind of party
this song is so dreamy, this slow dance.
This is what I wanted, this is what I like.
I’ve played it so, so cool for a long time
But maybe I like dancin’, with someone by my side
Can’t slow the music down even if I tried.
Cuz after midnight,

Cuz everything good happens after…
midnight…
Baby put your hands up, we’re just here havin’ fun.
Yeh we’re makin’ moves, then we’re goin’ out.
Yeh, we’re gonna glow up
yeh we’re turnin’, turnin’ up, ev’ryone risin’ up.
feelin’ so full of love, yeh…
