In a nothing to do town, nothing's going down

After them stars show up

It's all dinners and TVs, red lights blinking

Then everybody's sleeping but us Now what do you do when you're young and in love

And you got a new set of keys

And a beautiful girl with a bedroom window

Next to an old oak tree [Chorus]

Nothing good happens before midnight

I get all caught up kissing on you in the radio lights

No one's watching but these blue eyes

Ain't no close enough

Getting all kinda wrong, feeling all kinda right

Nothing good happens before midnight It was killing the headlights, rolling in neutral

So they couldn't hear us drive off

It was king of the main street, queen of the bench seat

Just us from dusk 'til dawn Found a little spot in the dark by the water

Where we could lose track of time

The days were a part-time grocery store

But the nights were your lips on mine [Chorus]

Nothing good happens before midnight

I get all caught up kissing on you in the radio lights

No one's watching but these blue eyes

Ain't no close enough

Getting all kinda wrong, feeling all kinda right

Nothing good happens before midnight Racing that sun back to your house

Wishing it would hurry up and go back down

So we can do it all again [Chorus]

Nothing good happens before midnight

I get all caught up kissing on you in the radio lights

No one's watching but these blue eyes

Ain't no close enough

Getting all kinda wrong, feeling all kinda right

Nothing good happens before midnight Yeah, nothing good happens before midnight

Yeah, before midnight
