I Love the Night Life - Alicia Bridges (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
I Love the Night Life (Alicia Bridges, 1978). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-10-06. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"I Love the Night Life," written by Alicia Bridges and Susan Hutcheson, was Bridges' only top forty hit, a one hit wonder, rising to the no. 5 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978 (Whitburn, 2013). It is interesting that the song was originally written with an R&B vibe, but because of the disco trend, her producer changed it to a disco number (aliciabridgesforacauseofwomen, 2023; songfacts, 2023). Contrary to the belief that Bridges was a disco performer, she "was primarily a singer of R&B, rock, blues and love songs" (aliciabridgesforacauseofwomen, 2023). In fact, she told Sounds Magazine, "I will never do a disco album. I'd prefer to do deodorant commercials. I didn't sing since I was ten years old so I could stand up like a moron and go 'Getfunkynow, getfunkynow, getboogie-woogie, getfunkynow'" (Sounds Magazine, 1979).

Lyrics:
Please don't talk about love tonight.
Please don't talk about sweet love.
Please don't talk about being true
And all the trouble we've been through.
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans
We had for fixin' this broken romance.
I want to go where the people dance.
I want some action I want to live!
Action, I got so much to give.
I want to give it.
I want to get some too.
Oh, I
Oh, I
I love the nightlife
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Please don't talk about love tonight.
Your sweet talking won't make it right.
Love and lies just bring me down
When you've got women all over town.
You can love them all and when you're through
Maybe that'll make, huh, a man out of you.
I got to go where the people dance.
I want some action I want to live!
Action, I got so much to give.
I want to give it, I want to get some too.
Oh, I
Oh, I
I love the nightlife
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
Oh, I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
