Used to wanna be a racecar driver
Flyin’ through an inside turn
Now I wanna be your night time lover
Think I’m headed for a crash and burn

Used to wanna be a spaceship pilot
Flyin’ high above all the jive
Now I wanna be your night time lover
Think I’m headed for a nose dive

I used to wanna be a shoot’em up cowboy
I used to wanna ride the range
But now I wanna be your night time lover
I’m feelin’ just a little strange
I’m feelin’ just a little strange

I don’t see
How I’m ever gonna recover
I just wanna be
Your night time lover

I used to think I’d be really great
But I’ve left all that behind
Now all I do is think of you
I’ve got a one-track mind

I used to wanna be a baseball player
Never had a single doubt
But now I wanna be your night time lover
Think I’m headed for a strike out

I used to want to be a cutthroat pirate
With my very own secret cave
But now I wanna be your night time lover
Think I’m headed for a tidal wave

Used to wanna be the king of the world
Till somethin’ inside of me changed
And now I wanna be your night time lover
Think I’m feelin’ just a little strange
I’m feelin’ just a little strange

I don’t see
How I’m ever gonna recover
I just wanna be
Your night time lover

I don’t see
Why I’d ever wanna recover
I just wanna be
Your night time lover

I just wanna be
Your night time lover
