Let's Go Out Tonight Lyrics

Where the cars go by
All the day and night
Why don't you say
What's so wrong tonight
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

Where the lights all shine
Like I knew they would
Be mine all mine
Baby I'll be good
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

I know a place
Where everything's alright, alright
Let's go out tonight

Where the cars go by
All the day and night
Why don't you say
What's so wrong tonight
I pray for love
Coming out alright, yeah
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

Tonight, tonight, yeah, tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Let's Go Out Tonight lyrics by Blue Nile, The

by nycuk

This beautiful fragile song outlines the desperation of a failing relationship, in my interpretation. The protagonist is clinging onto a situation that he knows is doomed (‘pray for me…’) and hopes that taking his partner out into downtown lights of Glasgow will rekindle something (maybe that’s where they met?), although he realises that it probably won’t.
