Prove It All Night Lyrics
I've been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean,
Tonight we'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline,
To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue,
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you,
A kiss to seal our fate tonight,
A kiss to prove it all night.
CHORUS
Prove it all night,
Girl there's nothing else that we can do,
So prove it all night, prove it all night,
And girl I'll prove it all night for you.
Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist,
There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this,
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice,
But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight,
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.
CHORUS
Prove it all night, prove it all night girl and call the bluff,
prove it all night, prove it all night and girl,
I prove it all night for your love.
Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow,
Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo,
You hear the voices telling you not to go,
They made their choices and they'll never know,
What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie,
What it's like to live and die.
CHORUS
To prove it all night...
Tonight we'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline,
To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue,
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you,
A kiss to seal our fate tonight,
A kiss to prove it all night.
Prove it all night,
Girl there's nothing else that we can do,
So prove it all night, prove it all night,
And girl I'll prove it all night for you.
There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this,
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice,
But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight,
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.
Prove it all night, prove it all night girl and call the bluff,
prove it all night, prove it all night and girl,
I prove it all night for your love.
Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo,
You hear the voices telling you not to go,
They made their choices and they'll never know,
What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie,
What it's like to live and die.
CHORUS
To prove it all night...

I look at this one even differently than both dasquien and Rolling_Beatle.
It's a song about a guy and a girl who look at each other and say, 'there's no one better, let's get married' ("Buy you a gold ring"). Neither is a virgin nor particularly innocent ("and a [wedding] dress of blue).
All it'll take for him to act on the notion is her agreement ("Just one kiss will get these things for you")
There's no one better ("there's nothing else we can do"), and he's saying, 'forget your go-nowhere/do-nothing friends, take the chance with me, and I'll show you it was the right choice' by making love all night - proving it all night. That's in these lines: "You hear the voices telling you not to go, They made their choices and they'll never know, What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie, What it's like to live and die."
This is a great song.
I think it's about a boy who is passionate about breaking away from a cautious and mundane existence who is working hard to make a better life for himself. At the same time he wants his girl to take the risk of believing in him even though what he's doing goes against what everyone else is doing.
... and if she takes the leap of faith and believes in a better future with him, he will work hard to prove that her faith in him was worth it.
Beautiful romantic song about chasing dreams and having a better life - no-one does this better than The Boss - just awesome!!
one of my favorite songs from darkness to me its about love and devotion
See, I look at it very differently. I never thought it was about a guy in a committed relationship with a girl...I see it more like "Thunder Road" or "Born to Run." It's a girl he kinda likes, he just wants to get out, get away, "live and die" rather than wasting away. So he's trying to convince the girl to go along with him, because "there's nothing else that [they] can do."

It's about the hard work and sacrifice it takes to make dreams work.
Fantastic song. Sounds like it could go hand-in-hand with "Backstreets".
among my fave Bruce tunes! can't get enough of this album...
'what is means to steal... to cheat... to lie, what it's like to LIVE and DIE!!'
Awesome!
That's right my brother. In these songs is the very essence of adolescence, of growing up, of young frustration. Quite simply, genius. Even after 25 years, I never grow tired of his lyrics. There's eternal truth in there. Bruce for president.

One year late, but it's an electric generator.

Well, that's probably one of the most elaborate pleas for sex since Virginia Come Out Tonight by Billy Joel!
