lyrics
(a taxi idling, meter ticking) The taxi's ticking at your curb I've got one speech you haven't heard My thumb is hovering on the bell One push from heaven, one from hell (ring it, ring it) We've been almost for three years (almost, almost) Tonight, almost disappears It's midnight or never — choose Love me loud or cut me loose Midnight or never — decide Midnight or never — outside (never, never — or now!) Your coat is folded on your arm Half-packed, half-staying — quiet harm I've watched that coat for one whole year Wear it out, or hang it here (hang it here) Count with me — three... two... (three... two...) Whatever you say next is true It's midnight or never — choose Love me loud or cut me loose Midnight or never — decide Midnight or never — outside (never, never — or now!) (the meter stops) ...You stayed.
