But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side.
I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives.
But right now I just want to take what I can
Get tonight.

I want to keep making love to you,
While the night is still young." - Meaning and context.">

I'm young enough to still see the passionate boy I used to be.
But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side.
I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives.
But right now I just want to take what I can
Get tonight.

While the night is still young,
I want to keep making love to you,
While the night is still young.

— Billy Joel
