Girl, is there something in the night

That draws us together

Are these moments worth the fight?

Why must we keep it to ourselves

The secret we hold inside

Let me take you in my arms

With the strength of a love that's denied

And we've always believed in our hearts

That the chances we've missed

Still exist in the world after dark



Backstreet love affair, running through the heart of the night

Backstreet love affair



Girl, there's a tension I can taste

That speaks for the danger

Let the warnings go to waste

Oh, eyes that reflect a secret fire

That covers the fear inside

In a flash we're lost from sight

To explore the romance that we hide

And the thrill of the chase plays a part

In the chances we take

We escape to the world after dark



Backstreet love affair, running through the heart of the night

Backstreet love affair, meet me in the city tonight

Backstreet love affair, running through the heart of the night

Backstreet love affair



Oh, backstreet love affair, running through the heart of the night

Backstreet love affair, meet me in the city tonight

Backstreet love affair, running through the heart of the night

Backstreet love affair

Backstreet love affair, meet me in the city tonight

Backstreet love affair, backstreet love affair
