Folks say that you've
Found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you.
Just call my name,
I'm not ashamed,
I'll come running back to you. Can't sleep at night,
I can't eat a bite.
When you were mine I didn't treat you right.
Just call my name,
I know, I know I'm not ashamed.
I'll come running back to you.
Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way,
Where the people are so gay,
Twistin' the night away... Here they have a lot of fun,
Puttin' trouble on the run.
Man, you find the old and young,
Twistin' the night away. They're twistin', twistin'
Everybody's feelin' great.
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night away.
