After Midnight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My mama said, "Nothing good happens
When it's late and you're dancing alone"
She's in my head saying, "It's not attractive
Wearing that dress and red lipstick"

[Pre-Chorus]
This is what I wanted, this is what I like
I've been a good, good girl for a long time
But baby, I like flirting, a lover by my side
Can't be a good, good girl even if I tried

[Chorus]
'Cause after midnight
I'm feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the club lights
I kinda wanna kiss your girlfriend if you don't mind
I love a little drama, let's start a bar fight
'Cause everything good happens after midnight
I'm feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the moonlight
I kinda wanna kiss your boyfriend if you don't mind
I love a little "uh-huh", let's watch the sunrise
'Cause everything good happens after

[Verse 2]
I really want your hands on my body
A slow dance, baby, let's get it on
That’s my type of fun, that's my kind of party
Your hands on my body, your hot hands

[Pre-Chorus]
This is what I wanted, this is what I like
I've been a good, good girl for a long time
But baby, I like flirting, a lover by my side
Can't be a good, good girl even if I tried

[Bridge]
Baby, put your hands up
Be a freak in the club
Yeah, I'll make a move, then we're making out
Yeah, we're makin', make love
Yeah, we're makin', make love
Be a freak in the club
Be a freak in the club, yeah

[Chorus]
After midnight
I'm feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the club lights
I kinda wanna kiss your girlfriend if you don't mind
I love a little drama, let's start a bar fight
'Cause everything good happens after midnight
I'm feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the moonlight
I kinda wanna kiss your boyfriend if you don't mind
I love a little "uh-huh", let's watch the sunrise
'Cause everything good happens after

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.
