Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooperand W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with less lyrics about sex, than glam rock. The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock".

I Want This Night (To Last Forever) Lyrics

Twisted Sister

This is the night I waited for
Countin' the days I couldn't take one more
I broke my back, you know I strained my brain, oh yeah
And now the more I give the less I seem to gain, oh no
Now I'm on my time, I do what I want to do
It's my time to shine, this is it I'm breakin' through, yeah

I want this night to last forever, oh yeah
I want this night to last forever
Listen to me now

Out on the street the night fills my brain
So many girls to meet, they'll never be the same, huh!
My radio's playin' my favorite tune, oh yeah
This is the life, nothin' I'd rather do, oh no
I feel so alive, leave my troubles far behind
Gonna rock tonight, takin' every chance I find, yeah

I want this night to last forever, oh yeah
I want this night to last forever, let's go

All round, round the town
Up and down, hear the sound
All round, round the town
Up and down (whoa)
All round, round the town
Up and down, hear the sound
All round, round the town
Hear the sound (whoa)
Come on let's stroll!

I want this night to last forever, oh yeah
I want this night to last forever, I got to have it
I want this night to last forever, ...
I want this night to last forever
Come on boys let's go
